Description

Tandem electrolysis to produce liquid fuels from carbon capture feedstock. As the global push towards a net-zero economy intensifies, innovative strategies for carbon capture and utilization become increasingly crucial. This project aims to deliver a cost-effective and durable tandem electrolysis technology for converting CO2 into high-rate transportable liquid fuels, facilitated by mechanism-driven catalyst development and engineering innovations in prototyping. The proposed two-step process is expected to enable energy-efficient and practically viable electrochemical CO2 reduction. The resulting innovations will not only reduce the environmental impact of atmospheric CO2 but also generate high-rate transportable fuels and industrial feedstocks for the sustainable production of commodity chemicals..
