Joule Unlimited, Inc. produces infrastructure-compatible fuels directly from sunlight and waste carbon dioxide. It captures sunlight to produce energy in liquid forms, such as diesel and ethanol, as well as uses waste carbon dioxide as a sole feedstock to produce liquid fuels. The company was formerly known as Joule Biotechnologies, Inc. and changed its name to Joule Unlimited, Inc. in 2010. The company was founded in 2007 and is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Joule Unlimited says is has invented a genetically-engineered organism that simply secretes diesel fuel or ethanol wherever it finds sunlight, water and carbon dioxide.
