Electrons to Molecules
Early Stage
Developing electrocatalytic techniques
for the reduction of CO2 (or N2) into
reactive intermediates like CO, formate
or methanol (similar to electrolysis of
water to H2 and O2)
Development of enabling bipolar
membranes for high current gas phase
electrocatalysis devices
RUTGERS
TU Delft
Mid-Stage
Development of gas-diffusion electrode
on hollow fiber membranes to generate
tunable ratios of CO/H2 from CO₂
Genetic engineering of cyanobacteria
to maximize production of isopropanol
from CO/H2/CO2 and build integrated
system

Late-Stage
Demonstrate electrolysis of water
(to H2 and O2) in combination with
biological production of pipeline quality
methane (CH) from H₂ and CO₂
