Electrochemical conversion of CO2 and organic materials into hydrocarbons and is a promising way of sustainable producing many of the world’s most needed commodity chemicals and it potentially closes the carbon cycle when it is powered by renewable energy. However, the assessment of the economics of coupled electrochemical conversion technology is a challenge problem because of diverse combinations and process design variabilities. Herein, we develop a superstructure based automated framework assessing economics of CO2 reduction/organic oxidation coupled coproduction process. The framework can consider target product oriented reaction system, recycle, and separation system, thus the economic potential of an electrochemical coproduction process can be evaluated more rigorously. Throughout this study, promising coproduction pairs are identified among the 295 possible combinations and global sensitivity of current density, Faraday efficiency (FE), and overpotential are presented. |
