Abstract
Unprecedented increase in atmospheric CO2 levels calls for
efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective technologies for CO2
removal, including both capture and conversion approaches.
Current CO2 abatement is largely based on energy-intensive
thermal processes with a high degree of inflexibility. In this
Perspective, it is argued that future CO2 technologies will follow
the general societal trend towards electrified systems. This
transition is largely promoted by decreasing electricity prices,
continuous expansion of renewable energy infrastructure, and
breakthroughs in carbon electrotechnologies, such as electrochemically modulated amine regeneration, redox-active quinones and other species, and microbial electrosynthesis. In
addition, new initiatives make electrochemical carbon capture
an integrated part of Power-to-X applications, for example, by
linking it to H2 production. Selected electrochemical technologies crucial for a future sustainable society are reviewed.
However, significant further development of these technologies
within the next decade is needed, to meet the ambitious
climate goals.
