Paired electrochemical process for the capture and conversion of CO2 to ethylene carbonate

Carbon capture and utilization offers a solution to reducing CO2 emissions, but economic feasibility presents a barrier to adoption. Now, an electrochemical reaction is introduced that integrates H-2 production with CO2 capture and utilization to produce ethylene carbonate with a high yield in aqueous solution. A techno-economic analysis indicates the economic viability of this strategy.
