Around the world, companies have been finding a growing variety of ways to meet the world’s energy needs with sunlight. The trend has also allowed more uses than ever for solar energy. In this respect, Joule Biotechnologies, Massachusetts company, developed a new technology: solar fuel, which is actually a biofuel created from microorganisms using sunlight and carbon dioxide.
Joule’s chief executive Bill Sims says “We’re not a biofuel company, because biofuels are biomass-derived; our technology leverages a highly synthetic organism to create transportation fuels and chemicals. We don’t have an intermediary that has to be grown or transported, it’s a direct-to-product process,”
