Barriers and opportunities for the deployment of CO₂ electrolysis in net-zero emissions energy systems

As energy systems across the globe transition toward net-zero emissions, the decarbonization of hard-to-decarbonize sectors, e.g., industry and transportation, is becoming more crucial. Renewable power-driven carbon dioxide (CO₂) electrolysis has the potential to facilitate this transition by (1) substituting carbon-intensive...

Evaluating the techno-economic potential of defossilized air-to-syngas pathways

Defossilizing the chemical industry using air-to-chemical processes offers a promising solution to driving down the emission trajectory to net-zero by 2050. Syngas is a key intermediate in the chemical industry, which can be produced from electrolytic H2 and air-sourced CO2. To techno-economically assess possible emerging air-to-syngas routes,...
