What would it take for renewably powered electrosynthesis to displace petrochemical processes

TL;DR: A comparative analysis of electrocatalyst and carbon emissions assessment of CO2 products such as ethylene, ethanol, and carbon monoxide shows that electrocatalytic production has the potential to yield the greatest reduction in carbon emissions, provided that a steady supply of clean electricity is available.

Carbon-based metal-free catalysts

TL;DR: Carbon-based metal-free catalysts as discussed by the authors have been widely used as catalysts for materials production, clean energy generation and storage, and many other important industrial processes, but metal-based catalysts suffer from high cost, low selectivity, poor durability, susceptibility to gas poisoning and have a detrimental environmental impact.
