Increasing amounts of low-cost and relatively pure carbon dioxide is available as a feedstock of nearly zero (or even negative) cost for conversion to fuels. On the other hand, the development of alternative sources for greener electricity generation (wind, hydro and photovoltaic) has a potential of making electrochemistry an inherently environmentally friendly, as electrons can replace more polluting conventional reducing agents. The aim of this proposal is to develop efficient electrocatalytic fuel production from carbon dioxide (residual emissions) and hydrogen (energy vector produced by intermittent renewable resources). Such fuel production can reduce the dependence on petrochemical resources through utilization of non-fossil fuel carbon as a building block.It is envisaged to use novel electrolytic systems capable to improve electrochemical reaction kinetics, assuring very high concentration of reagents in vicinity of electrodes, sufficient electrolytic strength and enhanced transport properties. In the last stage of this project, generated experimental data will be used for feasibility study to evaluate scalability and to estimate of the operational and investment costs.

越来越多的低成本和相对纯净的二氧化碳可作为原料，几乎为零（甚至为负）成本转化为燃料。另一方面，开发绿色发电的替代能源（风力、水力和光伏）有可能使电化学成为一种固有的环境友好型方法，因为电子可以取代污染更严重的传统还原剂。该提案的目的是开发利用二氧化碳（残余排放）和氢气（间歇性可再生资源产生的能量载体）生产高效电催化燃料的方法。这种燃料生产可以通过利用非化石燃料碳作为构建块来减少对石化资源的依赖。设想使用能够改善电化学反应动力学的新型电解系统，确保电极附近的试剂浓度非常高，足够的电解强度和增强的传输性能。在该项目的最后阶段，生成的实验数据将用于可行性研究，以评估可扩展性并估计运营和投资成本。
