What are Some Catalytic Processes to Reduce CO2 Emissions?
Several catalytic processes have been developed to mitigate CO2 emissions:
Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU): This involves capturing CO2 emissions from industrial sources and converting it into valuable chemicals, fuels, and materials using catalysts. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS): CO2 is captured and stored in geological formations. Catalysts can enhance the efficiency of capture processes. Photo-catalysis: Using sunlight and catalysts to convert CO2 into hydrocarbons or other chemicals. Electro-catalysis: Employing electrical energy and catalysts to reduce CO2 to hydrocarbons or alcohols.
