Abstract In times of the German energy transition (“Energiewende”) chemical storage technologies achieve an increasing interest because only with their help can the energy of the excess electricity from wind and solar plants be stored in huge quantities in the form of hydrocarbons. The hydrogen generated by water electrolysis can be converted with carbon dioxide into hydrocarbons. In addition, pure CO 2 must be available at a reasonable price. A sustainable concept is presented to meet this demand in CO 2 .
