The most popular forms of ethanol are produced by farming techniques that can be expensive and time consuming. However, Fu&#8217;s method can make it within a few days using just water, sunlight and carbon dioxide.  In other words, a completely clean, renewable energy source.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Fu also believes it can be done for significantly less than the cost of gasoline. <\/p>\n<p>So it it the future?
