I don't have details but I know there is one group using high energy (from solar) and air to make small amounts of petrol.

there is another group using bacteria to make diesel, the same group that created a completely artificial cell from scratch using a computer, and bunch if of basic chemicals. Essentially, creating life from nothing.

There is also another group wanting to make a desalination plant for Singapore or Hong Kong (can't remember) using bacteria where the majority of the bi products can be on sold and uses little energy compared with traditional desal plant.

Don't have details on hand but can find them.
