摘要： The invention concerns a process for the electrochemical production of formate. The process is performed in an electrochemical cell comprising a cathode compartment containing a cathode, an anode compartment containing a nickel-based anode and an ion exchange membrane separating the anode compartment from the cathode compartment. The process comprises the following steps: (a) feeding an anolyte comprising at least one polyol to the anode compartment; (b) feeding a catholyte comprising CO2 to the cathode compartment; (c) and applying a voltage difference between the cathode and the anode such that at the cathode CO2 is reduced to formate and at the anode the at least one polyol is oxidized to formate.
