However, Dan Nocera, a chemist from MIT and founder of the company Sun Catalytix, has developed a method to store energy like plants do using photosynthesis. Nocera, has developed a cobalt based catalyst that will enable to store energy in the same way as plants do &#8211; by splitting water molecules. This method can be used to generate cheap affordable energy which can be used as an alternative to conventional energy. And that\u2019s not all. This method can also use impure puddle water for this process.<\/p>\n<p>It is really a smart move on the part of the US government, which has recognized the potential in this project and has made Sun Catalytix one of the five companies to receive government funding for this project under ARPA-E. This synthetic photosynthesis method surely offers the hope for a clean and green future. <br \/>\n[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/blog\/post.cfm?id=shift-happens-will-artificial-photo-2010-03-03\">scientificamerican<\/a>]    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Up until now, the only way to harness solar energy was through the use of photovoltaic cells.
