A process for producing liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons from carbon dioxide and water comprising of a carbonizing step and a de-carbonizing step. The carbonizing step comprises of at least one absorbing reactor to first convert carbon dioxide into aqueous carbonate by reacting with a recycle alkaline solution of aqueous hydroxide and recovers the exothermic reaction heat. The de-carbonizing step comprises of at lest one electrochemical cell to synthesis the end product of hydrocarbons and oxygen from the reduction oxidation reaction of carbonate and water along with the production of aqueous hydroxide for recycling. The electrochemical reaction in the de-carbonizing step is driven by electrical energy input as well as thermal energy addition including the recovered heat from the carbonizing step. |
