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 TiO₂-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.

Recycling carbon–dioxide at the source would not only go a long way towards minimizing the emissions, but would also motivate industry leaders to take the positive approach for CO2 reuse.
