Abstract
The catalytic conversion of CO2 into value-added chemicals presents a promising strategy for tackling the dual challenges of greenhouse gas emissions and the sustainable production of chemicals. This process transforms CO2, a major contributor to climate change, into useful products such as methanol, formic acid, and hydrocarbons. Such an approach not only helps mitigate CO2 levels in the atmosphere but also generates economically valuable products, thereby supporting both environmental and economic goals.However, several significant challenges must be addressed for the catalytic conversion of CO2 to become more viable. CO2’s inherent thermodynamic stability requires the development of highly efficient and selective catalysts capable of operating under mild conditions. Current research focuses on innovations in catalyst technology, including advanced materials such as nanomaterials, and new catalytic methods like electrochemical reduction, photocatalysis, and bio-catalytic systems. These innovations aim to enhance the efficiency and selectivity of the conversion processes.Economic feasibility is another critical factor, which depends on the availability of low-cost, abundant catalysts and the integration of renewable energy sources to power these reactions. Integrating renewable energy—such as solar or wind power—into the CO2 conversion process can significantly reduce the carbon footprint and operational costs. Furthermore, optimizing reactor designs and scaling up production processes are essential to achieving industrial viability.
Keywords: carbon dioxide, catalysis, chemical conversion, biological conversion, solar or wind power, Thermodynamic stability
