An electrochemical cell that converts gaseous carbon dioxide into valuable compounds could take advantage of high-temperature technologies including next-generation advanced nuclear reactors. The cell is being developed by scientists at the US Department of Energy s Idaho National Laboratory (INL).

The protonic ceramic electrochemical cell, developed in a project funded by INL s Laboratory Directed Research and Development programme, facilitates a chemical reaction that converts captured carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide or methane, compounds which are important precursors for many industrial processes or products.
As the world scrambles to head off the long-term impacts of climate change, much of the effort has gone toward replacing industrial processes that produce carbon dioxide.For instance, wind and solar generation have offset electricity from fossil fuel
