Testing and evaluating the performance of devices for electrocatalytic CO2-reduction

Scope

The Workshop Agreement specifies procedures and protocols for testing and evaluating the performance of devices for electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO. This is done by specifying test methods for the determination of the performance with regard to production rate per electrode area, purity of the produced gas/product gas composition, stability of the reactor and energy consumption.

The Workshop Agreement is applicable to devices for electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO.

The Workshop Agreement does not specify requirements for the construction or the performance of devices electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO. It is therefore not limited to specific constructive solutions of such devices or to specific fields of application of CO2 reduction.

The Workshop Agreement is intended to be used by organisations and persons developing or using such devices.
