Abstract
This concluding chapter offers a perspective on photosynthesis research that is both historical and forward-looking. It imagines a future where a significant fraction of our energy demands are supplied by technologies inspired by photosynthesis. However, many scientific, engineering and policy challenges must be addressed for this realization.
