The Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy awarded Giner Inc. a $3,750,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Conservation Research and Development (CFDA 81.086) federal grant program. The goal of this 1-year project is to develop a dual-recycle carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion platform tailored for the exclusive conversion of CO2 into ethylene (C2H4). The project aims to achieve high carbon efficiency, energy efficiency, C2H4 selectivity and productivity, and long-term stability. Key components to be developed include a CO2 electrolyzer that integrates CO2-to-C2H4 conversion, a downstream gas separation unit to recycle unreacted CO2, an anion exchange membrane, a C2H4-selective Cu catalyst and cathode, and an extended surface anode. The successful completion of this project would mark the first-ever demonstration of a CO2-to-C2H4 conversion platform capable of producing C2H4 as the sole product with 99.9% purity, a significant milestone in sustainable CO2 utilization.
