the technology that is actively being pursued in academia and must be considered in the context of scale-up. Across all product categories, academic research has tended to focus primarily on catalyst research and development, with less attention given to other essential elements of electrochemical technology such as membranes (e.g. anion exchange membranes for direct CO2 electro-reduction), gas diffusion electrodes, and reactor design. Furthermore, academic research is often carried out under conditions not relevant to industrial applications (e.g. room temperature, low current density, absence of impurities). This misalignment is a hurdle for later technology scale-up and must be overcome by increased collaboration and communication between academia and industry. The reliability of commodity and fuel production electrochemical units must eventually be tested under industrial conditions with realistic electrode sizes and with statistically relevant stack sizes (100-200 cells). Setting the scale-up challenge for electrochemical production for organic compounds into perspective, current scale plants and demonstrators (kW or T/y) have to be scaled-up to the scale of several hundred MW or kT/y for the production of commodity chemicals and to the scale of several GW or MT/y for the production of fuels. 9.3 Future research needs Scale-up is a complex optimization prob- lem. Compromises typically have to be made between performance, durability, and cost (see Figure 9.2). The optimal compromises will differ from one use case to another. In the following, we have identified three future research needs that are critical to the scale-up of electrochem- ical processes and cut across the renew- able production of hydrogen, fine chemi- cals, commodity chemicals, and fuels.

The fundamental challenge is that early-stage ideas require constant iteration before and during the process of scale- up to assure their feasibility in subsequent scale-up steps and large scale deployment. Cross-cutting objectives for scaling up early-stage ideas across hydrogen, fine chemicals, commodity chemicals, and fuels include 95

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
