Renewable electricity-driven capture and conversion of oceanic dissolved inorganic carbon into value-added chemicals offers a sustainable route towards negative carbon emissions and a circular carbon economy. Here the authors present an artificial ocean carbon recycling system that captures and converts oceanic carbon sources into biochemicals through a decoupled electro-biocatalytic hybrid process.
