Electrocatalytic CO2 conversion to C2 products: Catalysts design, market perspectives and techno-economic aspects

Estela Ruiz-Lopez et al.

Summary: The energy crisis and greenhouse gas emissions caused by the continuous growth in global energy demand have led to the urgent need to control and reduce atmospheric CO2 levels. Utilizing CO2 as a carbon pool to produce value-added products is a cornerstone of the circular economy. Among the strategies for CO2 utilization, electrochemical reduction of CO2 to produce fuels and chemicals is gaining popularity due to its versatility and flexibility in end products. While most studies have focused on C-1 products, targeting C-2 and C2+ compounds is more attractive from a chemical and economic perspective, but requires advanced catalytic materials. Despite the complex pathways for C2+ product formation, their various applications have driven the search for suitable electrocatalysts. This review comprehensively analyzes the progress made in C2+ products, considering catalyst design, electrochemistry features, and techno-economic aspects, to envision the most profitable scenarios. This analysis demonstrates that the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to C-2 products will play a key role in the decarbonization of the chemical industry, paving the way towards a low-carbon future.

Power-to-X: A review and perspective

Matthew J. Palys et al.

Summary: Over the past decade, there has been growing interest in producing chemicals from renewable energy sources for use as fuel. Renewable hydrogen production (PtH) serves as the foundation for this energy conversion concept, with further conversion to methanol (PtM) or ammonia (PtA) being employed to increase energy density. This article reviews the production and utilization technologies for PtH, PtM, and PtA in the context of the energy and transportation sectors, exploring the operating principles, development status, energy efficiency, dynamic flexibility, and deployment outlook of each technology. Process systems engineering research for PtH, PtM, and PtA is also discussed, focusing on improving economics through optimal synthesis and design of novel processes, as well as real-time optimization and control for dynamic operation. Facility and supply chain level considerations, such as combined capacity planning and scheduling to effectively utilize intermittent renewable resources, are also highlighted.
