The '''Fuels from Sunlight''' program, initiated by the Department of Energy in 2010, is a pioneering effort to harness artificial photosynthesis for producing liquid solar fuels, beginning with the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis (JCAP) hub led by Caltech and transitioning in 2020 to the [[Liquid Sunlight Alliance]] (LiSA) and the [[Center for Hybrid Approaches in Solar Energy to Liquid Fuels]] (CHASE) hubs. | |||
JCAP, funded with $122 million over its first five years, developed prototypes 10 times more efficient than plants at converting sunlight into fuels, concluding in 2020 with over 200 researchers contributing breakthroughs like nanostructured catalysts.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/science-innovation/energy-innovation-hubs |title=Energy Innovation Hubs |publisher=Department of Energy}}</ref> | |||
LiSA and CHASE, awarded $100 million in 2020, continue this legacy, with LiSA focusing on co-design for efficiency and CHASE advancing hybrid photoelectrodes, collectively supporting DOE’s [[Energy Earthshots]] by 2025. | |||
