"current passed through cell, half filled with captured carbon dioxide, other half with water-based solution... electrified catalyst draws charged hydrogen atoms from water molecules into other half of unit separated by membrane, where they combine with charged carbon atoms from carbon dioxide to form ethylene... ethylene ranks third for carbon emissions after ammonia and cement... plastic products for packaging, agricultural and automotive industries, antifreeze, medical sterilizers and vinyl siding"
