Electrochem. oxidation of biomass to fuels and value-added chems. represents an emerging strategy for storing renewable energy and achieving a higher grade of sustainability in chem. industries. While research is still in its infancy, it is important to analyze the economic feasibility of such a process. In this study, we present a detailed techno-economic anal. (TEA) of a potential photo-biorefinery approach for sunlight-driven electro-oxidation of glucose to produce valuable fuels and chems. i.e., H2, gluconic acid (GNA) and glucaric acid (GRA). Under a base case scenario, the results are promising with a min. selling price (MSP) of GRA at $6.94 per kg, which will be ~70% lower than the current market price. The detailed breakdown and sensitivity anal. suggest that unlike conventional water electrolysis, the cost of raw materials and separation has a significant impact on the economics. Furthermore, we also establish performance targets for conversion (90%), selectivity (90%), feed concentration (0.5 M) and operating c.d. (0.4 A cm-2) such that if these targets are achieved, photo-electrochem. conversion of biomass to fuels and chems. can become a very profitable option with a MSP of GRA as low as $1.42 per kg.
