An Economy Based on Carbon Dioxide and Water: Potential of Large Scale Carbon Dioxide Utilization

This book is devoted to CO₂ capture and utilization (CCU) from a green, biotechnological and economic perspective, and presents the potential of, and the bottlenecks and breakthroughs in converting a stable molecule such as CO₂ into specialty chemicals and materials or energy-rich compounds.

The use of renewable energy (solar, wind, geothermal, hydro) and non-fossil hydrogen is a must for converting large volumes of CO₂ into energy products, and as such, the authors explore and compare the...
