We have asserted throughout this section that the driver of climate change and the push to greater sustainability will dramatically affect how the LotF will look, and what will take place within it. In a final piece of speculation on what new science will be taking place in these future labs, we suggest two research areas, which we believe will occupy a great deal of time and effort in labs over the next 10–20 years. These two areas are carbon (actually carbon dioxide) fixing and sequestration [110], and R&D around new battery technology, particularly new technologies which avoid the use of heavy metals [111]. The scientists working in or near the LotFs will do a great disservice to their descendants and to the planet if they do not research these critical areas.
