This work explores the integration of electrochemistry with solar power to drive efficient methanol production processes, focusing on electrochemical reduction (ECR) of CO 2 and methane oxidation reaction (MOR) as pathways for methanol synthesis.
The H 2 used for methanol production is derived from water electrolysis, and the electricity required is sourced entirely from photovoltaic power generation. When considering the entire system within this system boundary, total environmental impacts of the integrated system transforming CO 2 into methanol can be analyzed.
Conclusions The exploration of solar-driven electrochemical processes for methanol production presents a promising avenue towards sustainable energy solutions. This study delves into the integration of electrochemistry with renewable energy, particularly solar power, to drive efficient chemical reactions for methanol synthesis.
This sustainable and environmentally friendly methanol is widely investigated as a critical alternative to conventional fossil fuels. However, the integration of solar thermal energy-assisted DAC technology for transforming CO 2 into green methanol is still rarely reported.
