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.
