Abstract: Techniques according to the present disclosure include capturing carbon dioxide from a dilute gas source with a CO2 capture solution to form a carbonate-rich capture solution; separating at least a portion of carbonate from the carbonate-rich capture solution; forming an electrodialysis (ED) feed solution; flowing a water stream and the ED feed solution to a bipolar membrane electrodialysis (BPMED) unit; applying an electric potential to the BPMED unit to form at least two ED product streams including a first ED product stream including a hydroxide; and flowing the first ED product stream to use in the capturing the carbon dioxide from the dilute gas source with the CO2 capture solution.

Abstract: A method for producing a synthetic fuel includes extracting carbon dioxide (CO2) from a flow of atmospheric air with a sorbent material to form a recovered carbon dioxide feed stream; extracting hydrogen (H2) from a hydrogen-containing feedstock to produce a hydrogen feed stream; processing the recovered carbon dioxide feed stream in a CO2 reduction reactor to produce a carbon monoxide (CO) stream by applying an electric potential to the CO2 reduction reactor and reducing at least a portion of the recovered carbon dioxide feed stream over a catalyst to form the carbon monoxide stream and an oxygen (O2) stream; and reacting the carbon monoxide stream from the CO2 reduction reactor with the hydrogen feed stream to produce the synthetic fuel.
