Techno-economic Assessment of CO₂ Electrolysis: How Interdependencies between Model Variables Propagate Across Different Modeling Scales.

ABSTRACT: The production of base chemicals by electrochemical conversion of captured CO₂ has the potential to close the carbon cycle, thereby contributing to a future energy transition. With the feasibility of low-temperature electrochemical CO₂ conversion demonstrated at lab scale, research is shifting toward optimizing electrolyser design and operation for industrial applications, with target values based on techno-economic analysis. However, current techno-economic analyses often neglect experimentally reported interdependencies of key performance variables such as the current density, the faradaic efficiency, and the conversion. Aiming to understand the impact of these interdependencies on the economic outlook, we develop a model capturing mass transfer effects over the cha
