About ERC
ERC carbon recycling, "the Electrochemical Reduction of Carbon Dioxide", combines captured carbon dioxide with water to produce high value materials, such as formic acid and formate salts, which are conventionally obtained by thermochemistry. ERC has advantages over thermochemistry: it operates at near ambient conditions, and by using renewable energy it can output neutral carbon balance products.
