Starting with coal, followed by petroleum oil and natural gas, the utilization of fossil fuels has allowed the fast and unprecedented development of human society. However, the burning of these resources in ever increasing pace is accompanied by large amounts of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, which are outpacing the natural carbon cycle, causing adverse global environmental changes, the full extent of which is still unclear. Even through fossil fuels are still abundant, they are nevertheless limited and will, in time, be depleted. Chemical recycling of CO2 to renewable fuels and materials, primarily methanol, offers a powerful alternative to tackle both issues, that is, global climate change and fossil fuel depletion. The energy needed for the reduction of CO2 can come from any renewable energy source such as solar and wind. Methanol, the simplest C1 liquid product that can be easily obtained from any carbon source, including biomass and CO2, has been proposed as a key component of such an anthropogenic carbon cycle in the framework of a "Methanol Economy". Methanol itself is an excellent fuel for internal combustion engines, fuel cells, stoves, etc. It's dehydration product, dimethyl ether, is a diesel fuel and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) substitute. Furthermore, methanol can be transformed to ethylene, propylene and most of the petrochemical products currently obtained from fossil fuels. The conversion of CO2 to methanol is discussed in detail in this review.

“…[1][2][3] The (cooperative) activation of small molecules is of particular importance for solar fuel production, considering the fact that usually several redox equivalents are required in order to overcome thermodynamically unfavored stepwise monoelectronic pathways. [4][5][6][7] Various design motifs for multielectron storage in solar energy conversion schemes have been developed over the years, including dinuclear rhodium complexes, [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] or a multi-electron chargeable cobalt porphyrin catalyst. [16] Bimetallic activation of CO 2 was recently reported by Jurss et al in electrocatalytic studies on an anthracene-bridged dinuclear rhenium complex.…”

Photosensitizing units have already been applied to enable light-driven catalytic reduction of CO 2 with mononuclear rhenium complexes. However, dinuclear catalytic systems that are able to activate CO 2 in a cooperative bimetallic fashion have only rarely been combined with photosensitizers. We here present detailed studies on the influence of additional photosensitizers on the catalytic performance of a dirhenium complex (Re 2 Cl 2 ) and present correlations with spectroscopic measurements, which shed light on the reaction mechanism. The use of [Ir(dFppy) 3 ] (Ir, dFppy = 2-(4,6-difluorophenyl)pyridine)) resulted in considerably faster CO 2 to CO transformation than [Cu-(xant)(bcp)]PF 6 (Cu, xant = xantphos, bcp = bathocuproine). Emission quenching studies, transient absorption as well as IR spectroscopy provide information about the electron transfer paths of the intermolecular systems. It turned out that formation of double reduced species [Re 2 Cl 2 ] 2À along with an intermediate with a ReÀ Re bond ([ReRe]) can be taken as an indication of multi-electron storage capacity. Furthermore, under catalytic conditions a CO 2 -bridged intermediate was identified.

“…In keeping with Na et al ( 2012), the photocatalytic reduction use, harnessing sunlight for methanol synthesis, is an environmentally promising method explored by researchers [131]. Li et al (2012) synthesized TiO 2 nanotubes (TNTs) photocatalysts through a hydrothermal process and CdS (or BI 2 S 3 )/TiO 2 nanotubes photocatalysts through direct precipitation [132].…”

“…The BI 2 S 3 -modified TNTs photocatalyst demonstrated superior photocatalytic activity, CO 2 adsorption capacity, and visible light absorption compared to the CdS-modified counterpart. Particularly, after 5 h of visible light exposure, the Bi 2 S 3 -modified TNTs photocatalyst achieved a maximum methanol yield of 224.6 µmol/g, approximately 2.2 times that of TNTs [131,132].…”

The escalating global demand for goods transport via shipping has heightened energy consumption, impacting worldwide health and the environment. To mitigate this, international organizations aim to achieve complete fuel desulphurization and decarbonization by 50% by 2050. Investigating eco-friendly fuels is crucial, particularly those with a reduced carbon and zero sulfur content. Methanol derived mainly from renewable sources and produced by carbon dioxide’s hydrogenation method, stands out as an effective solution for GHG reduction. Leveraging its favorable properties, global scalability, and compatibility with the existing infrastructure, especially LNGs, methanol proves to be a cost-efficient and minimally disruptive alternative. This review explores methanol’s role as a hybrid maritime fuel, emphasizing its ecological production methods, advantages, and challenges in the shipping industry’s green transition. It discusses the environmental impacts of methanol use and analyzes economic factors, positioning methanol not only as an eco-friendly option, but also as a financially prudent choice for global shipping. Methanol is efficient and cost-effective and excels over MGO, especially in new ships. It is economically advantageous, with decreasing investment costs compared to LNG, while providing flexibility without specialized pressure tanks. Global marine fuel trends prioritize fuel traits, accessibility, and environmental considerations, incorporating factors like policies, emissions, bunkering, and engine adaptability during transitions.
