The OCEAN project aims to develop an integrated process for the production of high-value C2 chemicals from CO2 using electrochemistry. OCEAN will bring this technology just one-step away from commercialization, by demonstrating this technology at the site of an industrial electricity provider. Overall, critical elements are addressed that are currently hindering new electrochemical processes: High value products that have the corresponding production margin to introduce this technology on the market are targeted, the cost is lowered by combining oxidation and reduction, and a trans-disciplinary approach is provided which is needed for the introduction of these advanced technologies.
