ELECTROCATALYTIC CO2 CONVERSION TO HYDROCARBONS

DESCRIPTION, INNOVATION AND ADVANTAGES

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most common greenhouse gas in our planet. Reduction of CO2 production and conversion of CO2 into useful materials at the same time is necessary. Our proposed technology enables CO2 conversion using electrocatalysis and can be controlled by electrode potentials and the reaction temperature. This process produces higher hydrocarbons such as ethanol, methanol and others. Also, the electrochemical reaction systems are compact, modular and easy for scale-up applications. This system uses in-house developed Cu-based composites as catalysts with different compositions can seriously influence its electrocatalytic performance toward CO2 reduction reaction.

CURRENT STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT

Ready for the integration in production lines after scale-up development.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES RIGHTS STATUS

In-house know-how

TYPE AND ROLE OF PARTNER SOUGHT

Industrial reactors or clean fuel manufacturers.

VALUECONTACT

Value proposition

Our cutting-edge electrocatalysis technology transforms CO2, a prevalent greenhouse gas, into valuable higher hydrocarbons like ethanol and methanol, offering a dual benefit of reducing emissions and creating marketable products.
