Summary
- Researchers have developed an electrochemical cell to convert bicarbonate solution made from captured carbon into a formate solution, a green fuel.
- The new cell overcomes issues in reactive carbon capture and rivals energy-hungry gas-fed methods.
- This technology contributes to the global strategy of reducing emissions and fighting climate change by converting captured CO2 into a useful fuel source.
- The new cell design achieves high selectivity in the conversion process, resulting in nearly complete conversion of bicarbonate to formate.
