How can advances in electrochemical CO₂ conversion improve scalability of carbon-to-fuel technologies while minimizing energy demand and byproduct formation?
As a specialist in CO₂ reduction, my work focuses on advancing pathways that move beyond capture and storage toward scalable, value-added solutions. Current approaches including mineralization, electrochemical conversion, and bio-catalytic processes show potential but face challenges of efficiency, energy demand, and long-term stability. A critical next step is identifying how chemical, mineral, or catalytic enhancements can accelerate these processes while maintaining sustainability and cost-effectiveness. From your perspective, which CO₂ reduction strategies hold the greatest promise for balancing scalability, efficiency, and environmental integrity?

I agree with the observation that the only sustainable way to reduce CO2 content in the atmosphere is reducing energy production and consumption, i.e., to reduce consumption in general.

All processes mentioned require energy and a major portion of energy is still globally produced from fossils. It is very difficult, next to impossible, to reliably quantify the carbon footprint of CO2 reduction. So, I think the only sustainable way to reduce CO2 content in the atmosphere is reducing energy production and consumption, i.e., to reduce consumption in general.

Is it better to have single-author papers?
