CO2 can be electrochemically converted to carbon monoxide, formate or methane, but also to ethylene, propanol, acetate and ethanol through what s known as a recycling process
Carbon dioxide - a greenhouse gas - can be converted into valuable hydrocarbons via the process of electrolysis. In this procedure, the design of the electrolysis cell is essential. The so-called zero-gap cell is especially suitable for industrial processes. However, there are still some limitations: The cathodes can clog up rather quickly.
