A team of biologists and engineers modified Rhodopseudomonas palustris TIE-1 (TIE-1) so that it can produce a biofuel using only three renewable and naturally abundant source ingredients: carbon dioxide, solar panel-generated electricity and light. We hope that it can be a steppingstone for future sustainable solar fuel production.

Recent work has shown that chemoselective hydrogenation of ring-strained monoterpenes is an effective strategy for the generation of high-performance fuels. Alternatively, the alkenes can be easily converted to cyclopropane rings, which further enhances the density and volumetric heat of combustion (NHOC) of these hydrocarbons.
