Self-sustained carbon capture and utilization: Techno-economic insights for CO2 to C2H4 deployment at scale

Ethylene (C 2 H 4 ), a crucial building block in the petrochemical industry, is traditionally produced through energy-intensive thermal cracking of hydrocarbons, emitting about 1.5–3 tons of CO 2 per ton of C 2 H 4 . The proposed tandem electrochemical architecture represents a t...
