Abstract
Using renewable energy as an input, Power-to-X technologies have the potential to replace fossil fuels and chemicals with dense-energy carriers that are instead derived out of thin air. In this work, we put into context what the industrial-scale production of chemicals from ambient CO2 using CO2 electrolysis means in terms of future required operating conditions and the device and catalyst scales that will be needed for the technology to assume its role in our global energy system.
