    CO PRODUCTION
    DECARBONIZED

    Convert CO2 into carbon monoxide using Topsoe’s eCOs™ electrolysis technology

    Putting captured CO2 to work for you

    Topsoe eCOs™ (electrolytic carbon monoxide solution) enables safe, efficient and reliable CO production right on site and directly from CO2. Built on a scalable, modular design, eCOs™ can meet the needs of  almost any facility that uses CO in its processes,  regardless of industry or size. 

    eCOs™ CO2 electrolysis offers major benefits over traditional forms of CO sourcing, especially when  decarbonization is high on the agenda: 

    •    Lets you dispose of CO2 while producing CO 
    •    Highly efficient electrolyzer technology for a fast ROI 
    •    Built to your capacity and purity needs up to 99.995% 
    •    Field-proven electrolysis for large-scale production 
    •    Supported by expert Topsoe services

    CO

    Introducing Topsoe eCOs™

    Centered on Topsoe’s proven SOEC electrolysis technology – powered by electricity alone – a Topsoe eCOs™ installation can convert virtually 100% of your captured CO2 feedstock to CO. Each installation is built to give you the exact amount and purity of CO that your process requires – up to 99.995 vol%. The result is the right CO for your operation with significantly reduced carbon emissions.

    eCOs™ is an exceptionally efficient method of CO production thanks to a conversion process that is more direct and simpler than other methods. And Topsoe’s expert field and advisory services are available to; support your installation from planning to decommissioning at the end of its lifecycle.

    Your eCOs™ installation

    An eCOs™ installation consists primarily of at least one SOEC electrolyzer section and a gas purification section. CO2 is fed into the electrolyzer, which converts the CO2 into a CO-rich gas. This gas is led into the purification section, which removes remaining CO2 to achieve the purity your process requires. The removed CO2 is fed back into the electrolyzer and used as additional feedstock, while the purified CO is sent to storage. Air or CO2 is used as flush gas on the oxy side of the electrolyzer and exits in an oxygen-enriched state.

    Why SOEC electrolysis

    Simpler, more straightforward and more predictable than traditional methods, SOEC converts CO2 to CO with no need for fossil fuels but only electricity. In fact, SOEC is the only electrolysis technology suitable for efficient CO2 to CO conversion and has also achieved a higher TRL compared to low-temperature electrolyzers.
