Moving Artificial Leaves Out of the Lab
#3
The point isn't to replace plants for carbon-capture, but to create a cheaper, more efficient way to collect and store solar energy.

Using the Fischer-Tropsch process, carbon monoxide (from these "leaves") can be combined with hydrogen (from split water) to create, for example, gasoline. Gasoline is a fantastic fuel, the only real problem with it now is we make it from non-renewable oil.
