Reactor for the conversion of carbon dioxide

A reactor for conversion of carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide into hydrocarbon and/or alcohol, comprising:

• a support made of an electrically and thermally conductive material, the support forming a wall of a longitudinal channel, the longitudinal channel passing through the support, the support acting as a cathode of the reactor,
• a wire electrode forming an anode of the reactor, the wire electrode comprising a part that extends within the longitudinal channel along the longitudinal channel, the part being arranged at a distance from the wall of the longitudinal channel, the part being optionally covered by an electrically insulating layer,
• a catalyst configured to catalyse a conversion reaction of carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide into hydrocarbon and/or alcohol, the catalyst being located between the wire electrode and the wall of the longitudinal channel,
• wherein the longitudinal channel is a plurality of longitudinal channels, the plurality of longitudinal channels being arranged according to a bidimensional network according to a plane of the network, the plurality of longitudinal channels being parallel to each other and perpendicular to a plane of the network.
