The above calculations correspond to the energy intensity of a single BPM unit in an overall stack, and the number of BPMs in the stack will be key to dictating efficiency, especially when considering the electrode potentials of the anode and cathode. As shown in Figure , considering the effect of the anode and cathode potentials does increase the energy intensity of the process quite significantly (from 88 kJ mol CO2 -1 to 176 kJ mol CO2 -1 at 100 mA cm -2 ). However, as the number of BPMs in the stack increases, the energy intensity rapidly approaches that of the single BPM unit simulated herein. For a BPM-ED stack containing ten of the Optimal BPMs, the theoretical energy intensity is still below 100 kJ mol CO2 -1 at 100 mA cm -2 (see Section S24 for the details of this calculation). Ultimately, this analysis reveals the exciting result that newly developed BPMs have achieved such substantial strides in water-dissociation catalysis that CO2 desorption via BPM-ED could be achieved at energy intensities lower than 100 mA cm -2 even for current densities exceeding 100 mA cm -2 , making this technology quite promising for carbon removal when considered in a BPM-ED stack configuration.
