Carbon dioxide utilization is increasingly attracting interest. CO2 utilization involves a multitude of processes and chemical reactions. In this context, the goal of this review is to analyze the techno‐economic feasibility, sustainability, and social opportunities of CO2 utilization, as a possible contribution to CO2 mitigation in Europe. Industries and the most recent European projects related to carbon capture and utilization are also discussed, illustrating Europe's performance dynamics in science, research, and innovation in this field. The latest developments in CO2 utilization are thus reviewed, including chemicals, mineral carbonation, and biological uses. This study examines a few CO2‐based pathways at high level of maturity covering a wide range of applications, and discusses their current technical feasibility, economic viability, sustainability, and social aspects. They are then evaluated using several indicators to provide a figure of merit, where qualitative results are intended. The mapping and ranking of CO2 utilization pathways may provide a valuable means in prioritizing support and funding to facilitate the development of large‐scale CO2 utilization projects in Europe. Finally, key challenges and opportunities are discussed. The review shows that CO2 utilization may not be a complete solution for Europe, but will support climate change objectives, circular economy, and resource and energy security.

“…However, the available amount of CO2 from fossil sources or from primarily biogenic sources at the European or global scale is seldom a core topic [9][10][11]. More often, the current and future CO2 demand is discussed [12][13][14][15][16]. Comparisons of future CO2 potential (theoretical, technical and economical) from biogenic and fossil sources, together with the potential CO2 demand, is out of the scope of most publications.…”

“…Naims [19] as well as most other authors [14,22,23] focus mainly on fossil CO2 sources presumably because fossil CO2 adds to the CO2 content of the atmosphere to some extent, whereas biogenic CO2 is seen as "neutral".…”

“…According to Billig et al [12], global CO2 demand is estimated to increase from 197 Mt/a in 2013 to 250 Mt/a by around 2026. Chauvy et al [14] estimated a global demand potential of 590 Mt/a based on a stoichiometric CO2-uptake approach, excluding methane, which could account for 3,000 to 4,000 Mt/a. Patricio et al [13] presented the current data for the potential CO2 demand in Europe, which added up to 73 Mt/a for the industrial processes.…”

This study investigates the theoretical potential and limitations of green carbon dioxide sources for technical valorisation approaches. The emission of greenhouse gases, especially CO2, must be rigorously reduced in order to achieve the European and global climate objectives. As CO2 is an increasingly valuable resource for industries and new disrupting technologies on CO2 utilization, the potential of CO2 obtained from different green and fossil sources in Europe is discussed for a comparative evaluation. Biogenic or green and fossil CO2 sources are classified according to their emitting processes and industry sectors, respectively. The CO2 potentials are then calculated from statistical data for CO2 generating processes in Europe, complemented and verified by relevant papers and reports. This study demonstrates the European potential of capturing and utilizing the biogenic and fossil CO2. In Europe, 69.7 Mt/a CO2 are estimated to be produced by biogas upgrading, biogas combustion, as well as bioethanol and other fermentation processes. Additionally, 437 Mt/a CO2 are produced by solid biomass combustion. This accounts for a theoretical potential of 506.7 Mt/a CO2 currently available, which is nearly seven times the amount of the current European industrial CO2 demand. The CO2 from biomass combustion is more difficult to capture and is mixed with impurities, which potentially reduces its technical and economic potential, whereas the 63 Mt/a from other high-purity sources are already partially utilized, e.g., by breweries or dry ice producers.

“…Concerning CO 2 conversion, three main groups may be considered: chemical, mineralization, and bio-based routes (Chauvy et al, 2019). The first category is focused on organic synthesis [including photocatalysis and chemical photocatalysis (Li et al, 2016), thermochemical processes (Pakhare and Spivey, 2014), and electrochemistry (Albo et al, 2015)].…”

Assessment of the Brazilian Market for Products by Carbon Dioxide Conversion

et al. 2019

Several international agreements, focused on regulating greenhouse gases emissions in the atmosphere, were created due to the growing concern about the climate change due to human action. The carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions account for more than 70% of the total greenhouse gases emissions; among the CO 2 emitting sectors, electricity generation accounts for 25% of the global emissions. CO 2 emissions from Brazilian power plants motivated their mapping, a method was proposed to performance a local market analysis for potential products from CO 2 chemical conversion. The forecast behavior of this market for 2030 was also calculated. Among the studied products, methanol, polycarbonates, formic acid and acetaldehyde are the most promising for local manufacture.
