“…Wind, an abundant, clean, but intermittent energy source, is the fastest growing technology in the world with a significant potential evaluated to be about 75 TW (Armaroli and Balzani, 2011a, b). The global installed wind capacity was about 283 GW at the end of 2012, up about 19% from 2011(GWEC, 2012REN21, 2013). The United States and China, the leading countries in wind power, together accounted for nearly 60% of the global market in 2012, followed distantly by Germany, India, and the United Kingdom.…”

“…The utilization and recycling of the emitted CO 2 to energy products can not only replace fossil fuels, but also contribute to the global climate change positively. Among these energy products, methanol, dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and dimethyl ether (DME) are the most promising candidates and are highly concerned to chemically stored energy (RihkoStruckmann et al, 2010;Ganesh, 2011;Omae, 2012;Razali et al, 2012;Olah, 2013). Some physical and chemical properties of these products compared with those of the conventional fuels are shown in Table 2.…”

“…One feasible and thermodynamically practical route is to use CO 2 as a co-reactant to react with another substance that possesses higher Gibbs free energy, for example, hydrogen and methanol. Omae (2012) extensively reviewed related products (carbonates) from CO 2 with various types of reactive substances including oxygen-containing compounds, nitrogen-containing compounds, carbon-carbon unsaturated compounds and others substances such as hydrogen. Aresta and Dibenedetto (2007) comprehensively reviewed the interactions and the bonding modes of CO 2 with metal centres of catalysts.…”

Global warming due to the accumulation of atmospheric CO 2 has received widespread attention in recent years. Although various CO 2 capture technologies have been proposed, using the captured CO 2 from power plants is increasingly popular because of concerns with regard to the safety of underground and ocean CO 2 storage. Various techniques related to utilization of CO 2 from the exhausted gas of power plants are discussed in this article. The existing and under-development technologies for CO 2 utilization in the world are briefly reviewed. Two categories, direct utilization of CO 2 and conversion of CO 2 to chemicals and energy products, are used to classify different forms of CO 2 utilization. Regarding the direct utilization of CO 2 , in addition to its use in soft drinks, welding, foaming, and propellants, as well as the use of supercritical CO 2 as a solvent, CO 2 capture via photosynthesis to directly fix carbon into microalgae has also attracted the attention of researchers. The conversion of CO 2 into chemicals and energy products via this approach is a promising way to not only reduce the CO 2 emissions, but also generate more economic value. Since CO 2 is just a source of carbon without hydrogen, a clean, sustainable and cheap source of hydrogen should be developed. This article reviews the literature on the production of biofuel from microalgae cultivated using captured CO 2 , the conversion of CO 2 with hydrogen to chemicals and energy products, and sustainable and clean sources of hydrogen, in order to demonstrate the potential of CO 2 utilization.

“…Since the 1970s, many plausible strategies have proved that CO 2 can be converted by chemical methods [5], by photocatalytic and electrocatalytic reduction [6], and by other methodologies [7]. However, after decades of investigation, there are still obstacles that hinder the practical application of transforming CO 2 into value-added materials and fuels.…”

Recent Advances in Transition-Metal-Mediated Electrocatalytic CO2 Reduction: From Homogeneous to Heterogeneous Systems

et al. 2017

Abstract:Global climate change and increasing demands for clean energy have brought intensive interest in the search for proper electrocatalysts in order to reduce carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) to higher value carbon products such as hydrocarbons. Recently, transition-metal-centered molecules or organic frameworks have been reported to show outstanding electrocatalytic activity in the liquid phase. Their d-orbital electrons are believed to be one of the key factors to capture and convert CO 2 molecules to value-added low-carbon fuels. In this review, recent advances in electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction have been summarized based on the targeted products, ranging from homogeneous reactions to heterogeneous ones. Their advantages and fallbacks have been pointed out and the existing challenges, especially with respect to the practical and industrial application are addressed.
