Artificial photosynthesis.
Basic idea is a nanoscale metal-organic "hack" of common bacteria systems to develop efficient pathways for the conversion of sunlight and CO2 into useful fuels. Massive search and simulation required to find ideal candidates. Which could then be incorporated directly into carbon emission sources such as factories and power plants.
One recent example is hybridizing M. thermoacetica with "magic" Au22 nanoclusters
