Electrochemical synthesis methods offer opportunities to perform reactio ns under benign reaction conditions (at or near room temperature and press ure)\, use less harmful or waste-generating reaction steps\, and perform s elective reactions. In electroreduction reactions\, externally-suppl ied hydrogen gas that is generally needed for reduction is not requi red.  Rather\, electrons\, frequently paired with the electrolyte\, are the reducing agents. Powerful oxidizing agents are also replaced with elec trons when using electrooxidation reactions. Additionally\, electrooxidati on reactions can be paired with the hydrogen evolution reaction to generat e two valuable products. This presentation will provide perspectives rangi ng from carbon footprint analyses of electroorganic reactions to the unrav eling of reaction mechanisms and kinetics. Electrochemical hydrogenation a nd hydrogenolysis (ECH) will be presented as an example of replacing a traditional heterogeneously-catalyzed synthesis with an electrochemical s ynthesis. The specific ECH reaction that will be illustrated is furfural\, a biomass-derived species that is commercially produced today on the scal e of ~400\,000 tons/year. The desired products are furfuryl alcohol an d 2-methyl furan\, a resin intermediate and a fuel alternative\, respectiv ely. By tuning the reaction conditions\, the desired products can be forme d and the undesired products minimized. Another example to be included is that of electrochemical cycling of liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs ). The conditions in which the LOHC electrochemical cycling are competitiv e with classic thermochemical cycling will be presented and example reacti ons probing key selectivity challenges will be examined.    BioElizabet h J. Biddinger is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at The City College of New York\, the Deputy Director of the Center for Decarbonizing Chemical Manufacturing Using Sustainable Electrification (DC-MUSE) and an Associat e Editor for ACS Sustainable Chemistry &\; Engineering. Her research in terests are in electrochemical reaction engineering for green chemistry an d energy. In particular\, she is interested in the electrification of ch emical processes that transform wastes or renewable resources into valuabl e materials\, chemicals and fuels for sustainability\, and in alternative electrolytes for battery safety and performance. Professor Biddinger has b een recognized with the 2022 Ohio State College of Engineering Texnikoi Al umni Award\, 2018 US Department of Energy Early Career Award\, 2016-2017 E lectrochemical Society - Toyota Young Investigator Fellowship\, and 2014 C UNY Junior Faculty Research Award in Science and Engineering (J-FRASE) spo nsored by the Sloan Foundation. Professor Biddinger has held several leade rship roles with professional organizations including The Electrochemical Society (ECS) Industrial Electrochemistry &\; Electrochemical Engineeri ng (IE&\;EE) Division Vice Chair\, Secretary/Treasurer and Student & \; Early Career Awards Chair\, and an American Institute of Chemical Engin eers (AIChE) Catalysis and Reaction Engineering Division Director. She als o spent her sabbatical in the Chemical Process Development group at Bristo l-Myers Squibb in 2023. Prior to joining City College in August 2012\, Pro f. Biddinger was a Post-doctoral Fellow at the Georgia Institute of Techno logy.  She received her PhD in 2010 in Chemical Engineering from The Ohi o State University (Columbus\, OH) and her BS in 2005 in Chemical Engineer ing from Ohio University (Athens\, OH).
