ECO2Fuel

  • Project Description

    Electrochemical reduction of CO2 represents a possible means of producing value-added chemicals or fuels. The EU-funded ECO2Fuel project plans to design and manufacture a new type of low-temperature electrolyser to convert captured CO2 into sustainable liquid fuels. The system will allow efficient and direct coupling to renewable energy sources. The electrocatalytic CO2 conversion using water and renewable electricity will be carried out at temperatures and pressures below 80 °C and 15 bar, respectively. The produced synthetic fuels will be evaluated as a green alternative in two CO2 emission-heavy sectors: transport and energy.
