CO₂SimO
Photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction with simultaneous oxidative raw material production
Summary
The project CO2SimO develops a photoelectrochemical cell (PEC), which uses solar light to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into the energy carrier methane. Simultaneously, water is oxidized to hydrogen peroxide, an important bleaching and disinfection agent. CO2SimO is a joint cooperational project between two industry partners, two research institutes and two universities. The results of this project will help to use CO2 for solar energy storage and can contribute to climate protection.
