Advances in CO2 Utilization

PROMISING NEW APPROACHES TO RECYCLE CARBON DIOXIDE AND REDUCE
EMISSIONS

With this book as their guide, readers will learn a variety of
new approaches and methods to recycle and reuse carbon dioxide
(CO2) in order to produce green fuels and chemicals and,
at the same time, minimize CO2 emissions. The authors
demonstrate how to convert CO2 into a broad range of
essential products by using alternative green energy sources, such
as solar, wind, and hydro-power as well as sustainable energy
sources. Readers will discover that CO2 can be a driving
force for the sustainable future of both the chemical industry and
the energy and fuels industry.

Green Carbon Dioxide features a team of expert authors,
offering perspectives on the latest breakthroughs in CO2
recycling from Asia, Europe, and North America. The book begins
with an introduction to the production of CO2-based
fuels and chemicals. Next, it covers such topics as:

* Transformation of CO2 to useable products through
free-radical-induced reactions

* Hydrogenation of CO2 to liquid fuels

* Direct synthesis of organic carbonates from CO2 and
alcohols using heterogeneous oxide catalysts

* Electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 in methanol
medium

* Fuel production from photocatalytic reduction of CO2
with water using Ti O2-based nanocomposites

* Use of CO2 in enhanced oil recovery and carbon
capture and sequestration

More than 1, 000 references enable readers to explore individual
topics in greater depth.

Green Carbon Dioxide offers engineers, chemists, and
managers in the chemical and energy and fuel industries a
remarkable new perspective, demonstrating how CO2 can
play a significant role in the development of a sustainable
Earth.
