Method And System For Treating Carbon Gases By Electrochemical Hydrogenation In Order To Obtain A C

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for treating CO by electrochemical hydrogenation said method comprising: a step of transferring heat from a heating means (160) towards a proton conductive electrolyser (110) such that said electrolyser (110) reaches an operating temperature suitable for electrolysing steam; a step of feeding the CO produced by said heating means (160) at the cathode of the electrolyser; a step of feeding the steam at the anode; a step of oxidising the steam at the anode; a step of generating protonated species in the membrane with proton conduction; a step of migrating said protonated species into said proton conductive membrane; a step of reducing said protonated species on the surface of the cathode into reactive hydrogen atoms; and a step of hydrogenating the CO on the surface of the cathode of the electrolyser (110) by means of said reactive hydrogen atoms said hydrogenation step enabling the formation of CHO compounds where x=1; 0
