Welcome

Welcome to the Liquid Sunlight Alliance!

LiSA is an Energy Innovation Hub devoted to advancing the science of liquid solar fuels. We are a diverse team of more than 100 scientists spanning seven institutions with backgrounds in chemistry, physics, materials science, and chemical and electrical engineering, all working together to directly generate liquid fuels from sunlight, water, carbon dioxide and nitrogen.

LiSA is forging a new path to create solar fuels systems of the future with unprecedented catalytic selectivity, energy efficiency, and durability. Our approach uses co-design principles to realize assemblies of coupled chemical microenvironments, with inspiration from nature, to form complex chemical products.

The climate challenges that we face as a world require a bold, innovative approach to developing the new science for a sustainable future. I invite you to join us on this exciting journey as we accelerate solar fuels science.
