Co2 and h2o co-electrolyser system

Abstract

A water and carbon dioxide co-electrolyser system (1) comprising an anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyser (2) having at least one AEM electrolyser cell (2c) comprising a cathode (8), an anode (12) and an AEM membrane (16) separating the cathode from the anode, and an anolyte circuit (18) in which an anolyte flows connected to the anode (12) via an anolyte inlet (14i) and anolyte outlet (140) of the anode (12). The CO2 and H2G co-electrolyser system further comprises a mineralization system (3) including a mineralization unit (27) connected to the anolyte circuit (18) and containing a mineralization metal configured to react with the carbonate and bicarbonate ions circulating in the anolyte circuit (18) to form a metal carbonate.
