The electrolytic coproduction of CO and H 2 is achieved from air, water, and a single beam of sunlight rather than from fossil fuels. H 2 and CO cosynthesis is driven by a single concentrator photovoltaic to simultaneously drive molten hydroxide and molten carbonate electrolyses. The carbon neutral process captures carbon without the need for the preconcentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide.
