The reduction of CO2 by electro- and biocatalysis offers a promising route to the sustainable production of chemicals and fuels. Here, the integration of methanogenic or homoacetogenic microbes with earth-abundant electrodes allows robust, rapid, and selective CO2 reduction with coulombic efficiencies of up to 100%.
