The grants will go to projects in 17 states. Electrofuels approaches will use organisms able to extract energy from other sources, such as solar-derived electricity or hydrogen or earth-abundant metal ions. The critical barrier to wider deployment of electric vehicles is the high cost and low energy of today’s batteries.
