In article number 2001645, Naohiro Fujinuma, Samuel E. Lofland and co‐worker reduce carbon dioxide from exhaust sites to carbon monoxide using a cobalt‐pyridine catalyst in an electrochemi cal process with the high energy efficiency needed for large‐scale commercialization. When the electricity for this reaction is supplied by renewable resources, this carbon cycle decreases greenhouse gases while the end product serves as feedstock for plastics, further reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
