The CO2Chem project is focused on the development of a cost-effective and one-step conversion of CO2 and water to high energy density fuels, such as methanol. The co-electrolysis reactor should be able to use the surplus of energy produced by renewable power sources which are characterised by intermittent behaviour. The aim is to achieve a one-step conversion of CO2 and water to alcohols in a device capable to operate under dynamic conditions. In the second period (M4-M7), the activity was addressed to study an electrochemical reactor in the presence of alkaline electrolytes and specifically to use an anion exchange membrane and non noble metal electro-catalysts.

Abstract
The CO2Chem project is focused on the development of a cost-effective and one-step conversion of CO2 and water to high energy density fuels, such as methanol. The co-electrolysis reactor should be able to use the surplus of energy produced by renewable power sources which are characterised by intermittent behaviour. The aim is to achieve a one-step conversion of CO2 and water to alcohols in a device capable to operate under dynamic conditions. In the second period (M4-M7), the activity was addressed to study an electrochemical reactor in the presence of alkaline electrolytes and specifically to use an anion exchange membrane and non noble metal electro-catalysts.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
