$122 Million to Solar Fuel Research

$122 Million to Solar Fuel Research
不讓東軍MIT專美於前, DOE (美國能源部) 提供$122M USD給 西軍Caltech, UC Berkeley與Stanford.
目標如下:

Their goal is to simulate “nature’s photosynthetic apparatus for practical energy production.” Hence, the research group’s name: The Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis (JCAP). The group will also make up the Fuels from Sunlight Energy Innovation Hub, one of three energy innovation hubs the DOE is putting into action this year. This one will work specifically on creating a “solar-energy-to-chemical-fuel conversion system,” and then make it commercially marketable
