1. An apparatus for separating CO2 from an electrolyte solution, the apparatus comprising:

  • a vessel defining an interior volume and configured to house an electrolyte solution;

    an input conduit in fluid communication with the interior volume and configured to convey the electrolyte solution to the interior volume;

    an output conduit in fluid communication with the interior volume and configured to convey the electrolyte solution outside the interior volume;

    an exhaust conduit in fluid communication with the interior volume;

    an anode located within the interior volume and configured to provide hydrogen ions to the electrolyte solution within the vessel; and

    a cathode located within the interior volume; and

    further comprisinga fluid conduit coupling the anode and the cathode, the cathode configured to provide H2 to the fluid conduit, wherein the anode comprises a porous electrode configured to receive H2 from the fluid conduit, and wherein the interior volume of the vessel is continuous between the cathode and the anode.
