After an introductory discussion emphasising the importance of electrochemistry for the so-called Green Chemical Processes,
the article presents a short discussion of the classical ozone generation technologies. Next a revision of the electrochemical ozone
production technology focusing on such aspects as: fundamentals, latest advances, advantages and limitations of this technology
is presented. Recent results about fundamentals of electrochemical ozone production obtained in our laboratory, using different
electrode materials (. boron doped diamond electrodes, lead dioxide and DSA-based electrodes) also are presented. Different
chemical processes of interest to the solution of environmental problems involving ozone are discussed.
Keywords: ozone; electrochemistry; environment; green processes.
