Compared to traditional chemical processes driven by fossil energy, electrochemical processes could be more environmentally friendly if powered by renewable electricity. They can be operated under relatively mild conditions, which is suitable for distributed manufacturing. Recently, efforts have been devoted to the development of CO₂ electrolysis devices that can convert CO₂ into value-added chemicals and fuels. In this talk, we will present the state-of-the-art of electrocatalyst design, reactor engineering, and process integration for CO₂ electrolysis systems. In addition to that, we will also discuss the techno-economic assessment of major CO₂ reduction products and provide guidelines to facilitate the market deployment of polymer electrolyte based near ambient temperature CO₂ electrolysis technologies.
