In the context of the CAPTUS project, a new scientific paper about “Experimental assessment of different reactor configuration approaches for direct CO2 electroreduction to formic acid” written by the partner Universidad de Cantabria (UNICAN) has been published in the Electrochimica Acta.
Electrochemical conversion of CO₂ into formic acid (HCOOH) can help reduce industrial emissions, but it’s usually complicated by extra processing steps. This study tested two reactor designs that can directly produce HCOOH and found that both work well, each with different advantages. One setup produced a high amount of HCOOH with low energy use, while the other reached slightly better efficiency but needed more energy.
