This project will develop and optimize a novel, engineered microorganism that produces a biodiesel-equivalent fuel from renewable hydrogen and carbon dioxide, at costs of less than $2.50 Water will be the primary byproduct. A novel metal complex for electrolysis of water will be used to generate the hydrogen at high rates.

The MIT will develop a new generation of power electronics based on vertical gallium nitride (GaN) superjunction diodes and transistors that can vastly exceed the performance of today’s GaN power devices. The system takes three main inputs: ambient air, water, and a sustainable energy source, and produces butanol with high selectivity.
