Technical Name High Performance Electrochemical CO2 Converter
Project Operator National Taiwan University
Project Host 陳浩銘
Summary
Presently, finding effective ways to reutilize these space-occupying, stored CO2 has become an urgent priority. High performance electrochemical CO2 converter is found to be an auspicious resolution for transforming CO2 into valuable chemicals (formic acid, CO, C2H4, ethanol, etc.), providing numerous benefits, including high conversion efficiency, low energy consumption, and also the potential for integration with renewable energy sources, enabling the realization carbon-negative goals.
Scientific Breakthrough
"CCS and carbon sinks are now the most effective de-carbon strategies, while they still suffer from high costs and uncertainties regarding storage.
 Among emerging CCUS technologies, EC-CO2 conversion stands out for its high energy efficiency and selectivity, promoting environmental sustainability. Moreover, this innovative approach not only mitigates treatment costs but also creates a new market for carbon-negative chemicals, providing a promising direction for better readability and coherence."
Industrial Applicability
There are still 40.2 million tons of emissions that require CCUS technologies. This technology aims to collaborate with petrochemical industries, using our equipment to process these significant carbon emissions and supply carbon-negative chemicals, thereby establishing a zero-emission circular economy. This innovative technology can successfully aid in achieving ambitious carbon neutrality targets, demonstrating its broad application and potential to promote ESG goals globally.
