[21] [22] Their technology has been shown to convert CO 2 from raw biogas into carbon neutral methane. [ 23 ] [ 24 ] Twelve utilizes polymer electrolyte membrane electrolysis , which splits apart water molecules into its component pieces (O 2 , electrons, and hydrogen ions ) via the application of electricity.
A fuel cell is an electrochemical energy conversion device. Fuel cells differ from batteries in that they are designed for continuous replenishment of the reactants consumed. This is a partial list of companies currently producing commercially available fuel cell systems for use in residential, commercial, or industrial settings.
Bloom Energy is an American public company headquartered in San Jose, California.It manufactures and markets solid oxide fuel cells that produce electricity on-site. The company was founded in 2001 and came out of stealth mode in 2010.
The cell produces energy by combining carbon and oxygen, which releases carbon dioxide as a by-product. [3] It is also called coal fuel cells (CFCs), carbon-air fuel cells (CAFCs), direct carbon/coal fuel cells (DCFCs), and DC-SOFC. The total reaction of the cell is C + O 2 → CO 2. The process in half cell notation: Anode: C + 2O 2− → CO ...
Fuel cells can be used with low-quality gas from landfills or waste-water treatment plants to generate power and lower methane emissions. A 2.8 MW fuel cell plant in California is said to be the largest of the type. [87] Small-scale (sub-5kWhr) fuel cells are being developed for use in residential off-grid deployment. [88]
California is embracing carbon capture and storage technology to fight global warming, but critics say it will only increase oil production. California hopes to fight global warming by pumping CO2 ...

CO2RR can produce diverse compounds including formate (HCOO −), carbon monoxide (CO), methane (CH 4), ethylene (C 2 H 4), and ethanol (C 2 H 5 OH). [2] The main challenges are the relatively high cost of electricity (vs petroleum) and that CO 2 is often contaminated with O 2 and must be purified before reduction.
