Roadmap for Linking CO₂ Sources and Sinks

Researchers present opportunities, challenges and potential improvements for the large-scale integration of CO₂ sources and electrolyzers.

Researchers from Fraunhofer UMSICHT, Forschungszentrum Jülich, RWTH Aachen University and Ruhr University Bochum have developed a detailed roadmap outlining the opportunities, challenges and key steps toward industrial-scale CO₂ electrolysis.

By analyzing over 5,000 publications, the team bridges the gap between academic progress in CO₂ electroreduction (CO₂R) and real-world point sources — focusing on low- and high-temperature electrolysis for CO, formic acid and ethylene/ethanol.
