Abstract:
The present disclosure describes the efficient use of a catalyst, an enzyme for example, to provide suitable real cyclic capacity to a solvent otherwise limited by its ability to absorb and maintain a high concentration of CO2 captured from flue gas. This invention can apply to non-promoted as well as promoted solvents and to solvents with a broad range of enthalpy of reaction.
Abstract:
The invention refers to method for electrochemical reduction of CO2 in an electrochemical cell having a cathode and an anode. The method comprises: at the cathode, reducing the CO2; at the anode, oxidizing a first hydrocarbon generating a second hydrocarbon.
