Evonik and Siemens Energy commission pilot plant for conversion of CO2 to chemicals

Green Car Congress

This type of artificial photosynthesis can serve as an energy store and thus help to close the carbon cycle and reduce carbon dioxide pollution in the atmosphere. In the electrolyzers, carbon dioxide and water are converted into carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H 2 ) with electricity in a first step.
