However, little attention has been paid to handle the remaining heat of these processes as an alternative to increase CO<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0fixation and production rates. Thus, this study was aimed at steering electro bio-CO<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0recycling into organic compounds under thermophilic conditions. A mesophilic anaerobic sludge was adapted in lab-scale reactors at 50 \u00b0C, developing a resilient biocathode. High amounts of acetate (5250 mg L<sup>-1<\/sup>) were accumulated during a long-term operation period (150 days). The maximum production rate was 28 g acetate per m<sup>2<\/sup>\u00a0per d, with columbic efficiencies over 80%. In terms of carbon (C) conversion, 0.31 kg of C as acetate were obtained per 1 kg of C as CO<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0inlet, with an energy demand of 24 kW h per 1 kg of acetate. Thermoanaerobacterales appeared to dominate the cathodic chambers, though they were compartmentalized by distinct bacterial communities in the electrode biofilm compared to the bulk liquid. This research delves into the sustained ability of a mixed microbial culture to electrochemically produce organic compounds at 50 \u00b0C and considers the possibility of using CO<sub>2<\/sub>-saturated effluents from industrial heated point sources to bring the technology closer to its scale-up.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-769210c1 ts-col-stretched-none ts-bg-color-over-image elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"769210c1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4095b1aa ts-bg-color-over-image\" data-id=\"4095b1aa\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b9bed1c elementor-widget elementor-widget-accordion\" data-id=\"b9bed1c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1941\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1941\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Informaci\u00f3 addicional<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1941\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1941\"><table style=\"border: hidden;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef;\">\n<td align=\"right\" width=\"200\"><strong>Year:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>2020<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef;\">\n<td align=\"right\" width=\"200\"><strong>Authors:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Rovira-Alsina L., Perona-Vico E., Ba\u00f1eras L., Colprim J., Balaguer M.D., Puig S.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef;\">\n<td align=\"right\" width=\"200\"><strong>Reference:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Green Chemistry, Open Access, Volume 22, Issue 9, Pages 2947 &#8211; 29557, May 2020<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef;\">\n<td align=\"right\" width=\"200\"><strong>Link:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1039\/d0gc00320d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1039\/d0gc00320d<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-201b9a14 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"201b9a14\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authors: Rovira-Alsina L., Perona-Vico E., Ba\u00f1eras L., Colprim J., Balaguer M.D., Puig S.
