Designing an innovation system to support profitable electro- and bio-catalytic carbon upgrade

Abstract

Carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) can mitigate an estimated 14-20% of CO2 emissions by 2050. We evaluate an integrated electrocatalysis and biocatalysis CCUS pathway, using externally supplied renewable electricity...

Synergistic mediation of dual donor levels in CNS/BOCB-OV heterojunctions for enhanced photocatalytic CO2 reduction

“…In addition to energy conservation and emission reduction efforts, Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) can be pivotal in addressing high CO 2 concentrations. 6,7 In recent years, researchers have developed some technologies, such as dry reforming of CO 2 and CH 4 , 8,9 CO 2 hydrogenation, 10,11 and carbonylation reactions, 12 to utilize CO 2 as one of the raw materials for production of high-value fuels. These efforts can help not only mitigate the greenhouse effect but also alleviate energy crises.…”

Advances in organic microporous membranes for CO2 separation

“…3 With the aid of CCUS, an estimated 14-20% of anthropogenic CO 2 emissions may be mitigated, corresponding to a reduction of 120-160 Gt CO 2 by 2050. 4,5 Carbon capture is the first stage of a CCUS process, and current technologies mainly encompass cryogenic distillation, absorption, adsorption and membrane separation. Different carbon capture processes each have their own particular characteristics and can be applied to different separation tasks, fully considering separation requirements, energy and material consumption, and operating conditions.…”

Regulation Strategy of Nanostructured Engineering on Indium‐Based Materials for Electrocatalytic Conversion of CO2

“…[1][2][3][4] A variety of strategies, including the CO 2 capture, simulating photosynthesis to convert the H 2 O and CO 2 into valuable chemicals and the development of renewable resources to replace fossil fuels, [5][6][7][8][9] have been exploited to mitigate the increase of CO 2 , committing to achieving the carbon cycle with carbon neutrality. [10][11][12][13][14][15] Recently, artificial photosynthesis such as thermocatalysis, [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] photocatalysis, [23][24][25][26][27][28][29] electrocatalysis, [30][31][32][33][34][35][36] and biocatalysis, [37][38][39][40][41][42][43] has received significant attention due to the possibility of using waste CO 2 to synthesize high value-added products.
