The ECO2Fuel project is at the forefront of sustainable energy innovation, focusing on developing a direct electrochemical CO2 conversion system that produces eco-friendly liquid e-fuels and chemicals such as methanol and ethanol. Unlike traditional methods, this system operates without the need for hydrogen, utilizing water and renewable electricity for the one-step electrocatalytic conversion of CO2 under low temperatures and pressures. The project is driven by the ambitious targets of the European Green Deal, aiming for a 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and eventual climate neutrality by 2050. Funded under the Horizon Europe program, the project team has already developed a large-scale CO2 electrolyzer with innovative cell designs, paving the way for more efficient CO2 conversion processes. The system's unique feature of reusing gases generated at the negative electrode enhances the conversion of CO2 into valuable products. The ECO2Fuel project involves a diverse coalition of businesses and research institutions collaborating to scale up the technology, with plans to test a 1MW CO2 electrolyzer by 2026 in Germany. By bringing together expertise from various fields, the project aims to accelerate the adoption of advanced carbon capture and utilization technologies, contributing to a more sustainable future.
