Visualization of a shift from air-polluting economy based on fossil fuels to clean economy based on renewable energy, which is facilitated by electrocatalytic conversion of abundant CO<sub>2</sub> to fuels and other useful chemicals. The bottleneck of this reaction is activation of a linear CO<sub>2</sub>molecule to adsorbed carboxylate CO<sub>2</sub>? with a chair-like geometry.
