Claim:
1. A system for electrochemical co-production of products, comprising: an electrochemical cell including: a carbon dioxide source, the carbon dioxide source in flow communication with the first region to supply carbon dioxide to the first region; a carbon-based reactant source, the carbon-based reactant source in flow communication with the second region to supply a carbon-based reactant to said second region; a recycled reactant source, the recycled reactant source in flow communication with the second region to supply a recycled reactant to the second region, the recycled reactant is AX where X is selected from the group consisting of F, Cl, Br, I and mixtures thereof, and A is selected from the group consisting of H, Li, Na, K, Cs and mixtures thereof; and an energy source for applying a current across the anode and the cathode, wherein when current is applied, a first product recoverable from the first region and a second product is recoverable from the second region.
