Conditions for the use of CO2
Full text linkThis review presents several aspects of the utilization of carbon dioxide. In particular, it will consider the conditions for its correct utilization in order to reduce its emission into atmosphere and to size the demand of CO2 that may be used within several different industrial sectors, spanning from fine chemicals to bulk chemicals, intermediates and fuels
Integration of Solar Chemistry and Biotechnology for Building-up an Effective Man-Made C-Cycle that May Complement the Natural C-Cycle.
Full text linkThe need to cut the CO2 immission into the atmosphere is pushing scientists and technologists to discover and implement new strategies that may be effective for controlling the CO2 atmospheric level (and its putative effects on Climate Change-CC). One option is the capture of CO2 (from power plants flue gases or other industrial processes) for avoiding that it can enter the atmosphere. The captured CO2 can be either disposed in natural fields (geological cavities, spent gas or oil wells, coal beads, aquifers; even oceans have been proposed) or used as source of carbon in synthetic processes.
In this paper we present the options for CO2 utilization driven by solar energy and make an analysis of a variety of solutions for the conversion of large volumes of CO2 by either combining it with H2, that must be generated from water, or by directly converting it into fuels by electrolysis in water, or else by integrating catalysis and biotechnology for an effective conversion of CO2. A CO2-H2 based economy may address the issue of reducing the environmental
burden of energy production, also saving fossil carbon for next generations. The enhanced growth of aquatic biomass is not discussed in this paper

Across the Board: Angela Dibenedetto. Artificial Photosynthesis and Solar Chemistry
No full textIn this series of articles, the board members of ChemSusChem
discuss recent research articles that they consider of exceptional quality and importance for sustainability. This entry features
Prof. Angela Dibenedetto, who highlights the differences between natural and artificial photosynthesis, suggesting that
solar chemistry may be the most appropriate terminology to
describe these closely related solar-to-chemical energy conversion processes
