CO₂ Reduction Reaction (CO₂RR) is an emerging electrochemical technology that converts carbon dioxide into valuable fuels and chemicals using renewable electricity.
By enabling the valorization of waste CO₂, it provides a pathway toward carbon neutrality and sustainable resource utilization.
Its versatility allows the production of hydrocarbons, alcohols, and syngas, supporting applications in energy, chemicals, and materials industries.
As a key platform for carbon capture and utilization (CCU), CO₂RR is driving innovation in the transition to a circular and low-carbon economy.

Ammonia-to-Hydrogen Production

Ammonia-to-Hydrogen Production is a breakthrough pathway that leverages ammonia (NH₃) as a carbon-free hydrogen carrier and releases high-purity hydrogen through electrolysis or catalytic decomposition.
With its high volumetric energy density and well-established global distribution network, ammonia provides a practical solution for large-scale hydrogen storage and transport.
This approach enables efficient hydrogen supply for fuel cells, clean mobility, and industrial applications, while minimizing infrastructure challenges.
As a cornerstone of the emerging hydrogen economy, ammonia-to-hydrogen technology bridges renewable energy production with global-scale clean fuel deployment.
