Project description
Standardising CO2 electrolysis for scalable solutions
The development of new technologies to produce fuels and chemicals from renewable energy faces significant challenges. One major hurdle is the lack of standardised methods to measure performance, which makes it difficult to compare results across different projects. This inconsistency not only slows down progress but also limits investment in scaling up these technologies. Additionally, the high costs involved in moving to larger-scale production further hinder development. In this context, the EIC-funded ROROTE project will create a standardised and easy-to-use test protocol. This will help ensure better performance comparisons, encourage investment, and support the scaling up of CO2 electrolysis technology.
Objective
CO2 electrolysis is a promising pathway to produce diverse fuels and chemicals from renewable electricity. Both on the fundamental research level and on TRL levels around 4- 6 strong activities from different stakeholders can be observed. This includes universities, start-ups such as eChemicles (applicant) and corporates such as TotalEnergies or Siemens Energy. However, comparability of performances is difficult due to the lack of standardized test protocols. On the one hand, to push the technology to the next maturity level (TRL 7-8), substantial investments are needed on the individual project level due to high associated CAPEX costs. On the other hand, the lack of thorough benchmarking and validated performances hampers further investments. The development and widespread publication of a standardized and easily applicable test protocol is of utmost importance to support the scaling-up of CO2 electrolysis.
