The chemical sector consumes vast amounts of oil and gas, accounting for 15% of total primary demand for oil on a volumetric basis and 9% of gas. The use of fossil-fuels as feedstock and energy source, also dictates its unsustainability with direct CO2 emission of 880 Mt in 2018. 1 Among all the products in the chemical sector, petrochemical based thermoplastics have an annual production of 222 Mt yr -1 in total. Globally, these plastics are becoming less attractive to consumers, brands and governments. This shift has made bio-based and bio-degradable plastics a viable, responsible and intelligent alternative to facilitate the transformation towards a zero-emission chemical industry. Benchmark of literature reported values of electrochemical glycerol conversion to lactic acid. The liquid product distribution towards lactic acid is defined as: mole of lactic acid/mole of total liquid products detected × 100%. Other detectable liquid products include: glyceric acid, tartronic acid, glycolic acid, oxalic acid. (Source of references: Co-DPPE 4 ; Pt3Au7@Ag 5 ; Pt-CBAC ; Pt-CC 7 ; NixBi1-x; Planar Au; Au NWs; Au/Ni(OH)2; AuPt (15% PtSurf) ) To note the use of liquid product distribution towards lactic acid is for literature comparison. In the discussion below, more standard quantification methods with product yield and faradaic efficiency are used throughout this work.
