Researchers at MIT have identified , quantified, and modeled a major reason for the poor performance of electroreduction processes to convert CO 2 to fuel or other useful chemicals. In all of these, I think the hydrogen co-evolution becomes a bottleneck. The research was supported by Shell, through the MIT Energy Initiative.

A team of researchers at MIT has described a framework for efficiently coupling the power output of a series-connected string of single-band-gap solar cells to an electrochemical process that produces storable fuels. Such a system would use sunlight to produce a storable fuel, such as hydrogen, instead of electricity for immediate use.
