CO₂ Electrolysis Technologies: Bridging the Gap toward Scale-up and Commercialization.

ABSTRACT: CO₂ electroreduction (CO₂E) converts CO₂ into carbon-based fuels and chemical feedstocks that can be integrated into existing chemical processes. After decades of research, CO₂E is approaching commercialization with several startups, pilot plants, and large initiatives targeting different products. Here, we analyze the global efforts in scaling up CO₂E, addressing implementation challenges and proposing methods for acceleration. We present a comparative analysis of key performance indicators (KPIs) between laboratory and industrial settings and suggest a stepwise technoeconomic analysis (TEA) framework, supported by industrial data, exploiting interactions within the academic and industrial communities. We identify the lack of systems-
