Faraday Discussion 183

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Carbon dioxide utilisation processes convert CO2 into commercially viable products such as chemicals, polymers, building materials and fuels. This emerging technology can contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by using CO2 to manufacture useful products. While generally un-reactive, CO2 can be activated, particularly through catalysis, to yield a vast array of chemical feedstocks, intermediates and value-added products. For this to be effective, a synergistic approach is needed where multiple technologies and energy sources are integrated over a complete system. Following the Carbon Dioxide Utilisation Faraday Discussion (September 2015), this book provides a holistic approach, identifying where efficiencies can enhance the whole process economics and predicting where there may be bottlenecks in the supply chain. Carbon dioxide utilisation is presented as a complementary rather than competitive approach to carbon capture and storage, where the product produces a viable profit that can be used to off-set carbon capture technologies.
