Coal-fired powerplants are a typical emitter, and (antiquated) chloralkali plants (producing chlorine and caustic soda)... now you can get 1970s Ontario Minamata disease even without grabbing a 51st state

The chloralkali process is responsible for ~1% of the electricity consumed in Europe.
One. Percent.
Any way to make that process more efficient could have a big impact, such as this method for Cl2 upcycling I covered for @chemistryworld.com!

The reversible adsorption of chlorine gas onto the polystyrene-based resin could enable better use of large quantities of chlorine that are currently lost as waste, Ada McVean reports.

However, the more I looked into it, the more skeptical I became. Sodium hydroxide is produced in the chloralkali process that splits sodium chloride (aka: table salt). It is not possible to produce more sodium hydroxide in it without also scaling up chlorine production.

Made a homemade h cell for doing the chloralkali process.
It... worked, but it turns out, the normally hard to react with hcl, copper is pretty easy to react with it if it's used as an electrode, and it turned the water blue.
Well, guess this means I need to switch the electrode material.

This salt is piped up to a single factory in Runcorn which, using the chloralkali process and more energy than the city of Liverpool, makes 98% of the UK’s chlorine which is used to purify tap water.

I am currently looking into a topic where I wonder if people have thoughts: Hydrogen from chloralkali electrolysis. Chlorine production produces H2 as a by-product. Some companies already sell it as green H2, arguing: We use some green electricity and some of our product is H2.

would fee based maximize several key things, HI fee based extraction of CO2 from atmosphere, HI storage of CO2, likely (controversial) small chloralkali process factory to make NaOH to grab CO2 out of the air forever & fee based export NaOH & chlorine chemicals.
