Risk-based uncertainty assessment to identify key sustainability hurdles for emerging CO₂ utilization technologies

Abstract

The development of carbon dioxide utilization (CDU) technologies is heavily influenced by policy priorities such as access to renewable energy resources and the country’s economic structure. At the same time,...

Investigating the Catalytic Deactivation of a Pd Catalyst during the Continuous Hydrogenation of CO2 into Formate Using a Trickle-Bed Reactor

“…Recent successes in the use of formic acid as a fuel cell energy source in public transport have highlighted its potential as a hydrogen-based economy [8]. Moreover, recent LCA-TEA reports highlight the positive impact of CO 2 -hydrogenated formate (FA) production in thermo-or electrochemical catalytic systems, especially with the rapidly emerging technology for the integration of renewable energy [9][10][11][12][13][14]. Electrochemical systems for producing formate are gaining prominence because of their efficient integration with renewable energy sources and their potential to significantly reduce the impact of global warming, showcasing promising electrolyzer performance [15][16][17].…”
