This proposal will develop a new market-disruptive technology involving carbon dioxide utilization. The technology is both economic and can be operated at an industrial scale. The reaction involves an unique electrochemical pathway for coupling carbon dioxide to glycerol. Known chemical pathways require high temperature and pressure and have low yields of glycerol carbonate. This new pathway operates at ambient conditions. The electrochemical coupling reaction was discovered in early 2016 and verified with sufficient laboratory work to initiate a university disclosure and a university led US provisional patent application in Aug 2016.

该提案将开发一种涉及二氧化碳利用的新的市场颠覆性技术。该技术既经济又可在工业规模上操作。该反应涉及将二氧化碳偶联到甘油的独特电化学途径。已知的化学途径需要高温和高压，并且具有低的碳酸甘油酯产率。这种新的途径在环境条件下运行。电化学偶联反应于2016年初被发现，并通过足够的实验室工作进行了验证，以启动大学披露，并于2016年8月提交了大学主导的美国临时专利申请。
