The invention relates to the electrochemical production of hydrogen and lithium hydroxide from Li+-containing water with the aid of an LiSICon membrane. It addresses the problem of specifying a process that can be operated economically on an industrial scale too. In particular, the process should have good energy efficiency and achieve a high membrane lifetime even when the employed feed contains impurities that are harmful to LiSICon materials. A particular aspect of the process is that the selective separation of lithium by the membrane and an electrolysis of water take place simultaneously in the cell. A key aspect of the process is that the electrochemical process is carried out in basic media, more precisely at pH 9 to 13. The pH is adjusted by adding a basic compound to the feed.

The production of fuels from low carbon electricity and carbon dioxide by using solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC) and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is presented. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is an exothermic reaction which can be used for generating steam. Steam generated from a liquid fuel production (LFP) reactor system in which a Fischer-Tropsch reaction occurs is used as a feed to the SOEC. And the efficiency of the whole electrolysis system is improved by the steam with higher temperature. The integration of LFP steam improves the efficiency of electrolysis because the heat of vaporization of liquid water does not need to be supplied by the electrolyzer.
