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.

Why would invest a lot of effort to find the alternate energy sources and fuels for cars? There are proven and matured technologies to extract energy from fossil fuels and IC engines have been used in vehicles for a long. Petroleum fuels are common in the automotive industry. Then, why do we need alternative fuels?
