The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recently unveils a roadmap for creating sustainable energy generation within every household, business and industry, by mimicking photosynthesis. By converting light into hydrogen fuel locally, with specially treated photovoltaic cells that split water molecules, its roadmap-to-sustainability establishes baselines for efficiency and the milestones that need to be achieved in order to make the technology practical and inexpensive: R.

MIT's artificial photosynthesis prototype coats a PV cell with catalysts that efficiently produce hydrogen fuel from water using electrolysis.
MIT laid out its "roadmap to sustainability" at the prestigious National Academy of Sciences (NAS) this week, you can read all about the milestones coming for artificial photosynthesis by clicking Further Reading below.
