The CO2 Reduction and Upgrading for e-Fuels Consortium (CO2RUe) is developing a portfolio of technologies that use renewable electricity, catalysts, and microorganisms to upgrade carbon dioxide (CO2) into more useful and energy-dense molecules.
Chemical intermediates made from CO2 conversion—such as formic acid, methanol, and ethanol—can be further upgraded into valuable e-fuels (short for electrofuels) and commodity chemicals. To improve the technical and commercial readiness of these processes, CO2RUe organizes its research into three strategic areas.
-
Understanding how CO2 conversion technologies might save water, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and unlock social and economic opportunity. -
Improving the design, efficiency, and effectiveness of electrochemical conversion technologies. -
Upgrading CO, hydrogen, and formate into chemical intermediates for making e-fuels and commodity chemicals.
