ln an electrocatalytic process, CO2 can be reduced to simple organic compounds in the presence of water and driven by electrical energy. When renewable energy is used and the CO2 does not originate from the combustion of fossil fuels, this allows the production of hydrocarbons in a sustainable manner. This research will focus initially on attempting to produce formic acid from water vapour and CO2. The research makes use of a gas phase electrocatalytic reactor, consisting of a separating membrane and electrocatalysts, that is coupled directly to a photovoltaic panel.
