These solutions include so-called carbon capture technologies and electrolyzers, devices that can capture carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2<\/sub>) and convert it into other valuable products, such as carbon monoxide (CO), methanol (CH\u2083OH), methane (CH\u2084) and various other compounds.<\/p>\n<p>Some recently introduced solutions for converting CO<sub>2<\/sub> into compounds that can be used as fuels or in industrial settings have achieved promising results. However, most of these devices only work if CO<sub>2<\/sub> is purified (i.e., separated from other gases, contaminants and impurities). This additional purification step reduces the devices\u2019 efficiency and can increase costs associated with their deployment, preventing their large-scale implementation.<\/p>\n<p>An alternative method for the capture and conversion of CO<sub>2<\/sub>, known as reactive CO<sub>2<\/sub> capture, could be more efficient and scalable than conventional approaches. This method combines the capture and conversion of CO<sub>2<\/sub> in a single process, relying on compounds containing nitrogen (i.e., amine-based absorbents) to directly convert captured CO<sub>2<\/sub> into desired compounds via electrochemical reactions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past decades, energy researchers have developed various promising solutions to limit the emission of greenhouse gases and source fuels or other chemicals more sustainably.
