Cover Story: The transition to renewable energy is vital to mitigate the environmental impacts of rising energy demands. Methanol, with its potential as a clean energy carrier and versatile chemical, offers a promising solution. This work explores integrating solar power with electrochemical processes, focusing on the electrochemical CO₂ reduction and methane oxidation reactions for methanol production. We evaluate thermodynamic limits, solar-to-fuel efficiencies, and system optimization strategies. By identifying challenges like catalyst stability and parasitic reactions, this study provides actionable insights into solar-driven methanol synthesis, advancing a sustainable energy future.
