The project proposes an innovative approach based on microelectrode arrays (MEAs) capable of generating local pH variations without chemical additives or polymeric membranes. The principle relies on localized acidification near the electrode to shift the HCO₃⁻/CO₂ equilibrium and release dissolved CO₂, coupled with its electrochemical conversion into CO. The project aims to develop robust, scalable, and economically viable flow reactors for the direct extraction of CO₂ from seawater, while minimizing electrode degradation and the release of contaminants.
