Green Carbon Dioxide

<p><b>PROMISING NEW APPROACHES TO RECYCLE CARBON DIOXIDE AND REDUCE EMISSIONS</b></p> <p>With this book as their guide, readers will learn a variety of new approaches and methods to recycle and reuse carbon dioxide (CO₂) in order to produce green fuels and chemicals and, at the same time, minimize CO₂ emissions. The authors demonstrate how to convert CO₂ into a broad range of essential products by using alternative green energy sources, such as solar, wind, and hydro-power as well as sustainable energy sources. Readers will discover that CO₂ can be a driving force for the sustainable future of both the chemical industry and the energy and fuels industry.</p> <p><i>Green Carbon Dioxide</i> features a team of expert authors, offering perspectives on the latest breakthroughs in CO₂ recycling from Asia, Europe, and North America. The book begins with an introduction to the production of CO₂-based fuels and chemicals. Next, it covers such topics as:</p> <ul> <li>Transformation of CO₂ to useable products through free-radical-induced reactions</li> <li>Hydrogenation of CO₂ to liquid fuels</li> <li>Direct synthesis of organic carbonates from CO₂ and alcohols using heterogeneous oxide catalysts</li> <li>Electrocatalytic reduction of CO₂ in methanol medium</li> <li>Fuel production from photocatalytic reduction of CO₂ with water using TiO₂-based nanocomposites</li> <li>Use of CO₂ in enhanced oil recovery and carbon capture and sequestration</li> </ul> <p>More than 1,000 references enable readers to explore individual topics in greater depth.</p> <p><i>Green Carbon Dioxide</i> offers engineers, chemists, and managers in the chemical and energy and fuel industries a remarkable new perspective, demonstrating how CO₂ can play a significant role in the development of a sustainable Earth.</p>
