    Abstract: Described herein are methods for reduced carbon product generation, comprising: contacting a gas stream with an electrolyte solution, wherein said gas stream comprises carbon dioxide (CO2), thereby capturing said CO2 from said gas stream into said electrolyte solution; reducing said CO2 in said electrolyte solution to generate a first reduced carbon product; and reducing said first reduced carbon product to generate a second reduced carbon product, wherein said second reduced carbon product (e.g., upgraded RCP) comprises a greater number of carbon atoms than said first reduced carbon product.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for producing carbon products via electrochemical reduction from fluid streams containing a carbon-containing material, such as, for example, carbon dioxide. Electrochemical reduction systems and methods of the present disclosure may comprise micro- or nanostructured membranes for separation and catalytic processes. The electrochemical reduction systems and methods may utilize renewable energy sources to generate a carbon product comprising one or more carbon atoms (C1+ product), such as, for example, fuel. This may be performed at substantially low (or nearly zero) net or negative carbon emissions.
