What are the Advances in Catalytic Technologies for Reducing CO2 Emissions?
Recent advances in catalytic technologies focus on carbon capture and utilization (CCU). Catalysts enable the conversion of CO2 into valuable chemicals and fuels, such as methanol and synthetic hydrocarbons. This not only helps in reducing CO2 emissions but also creates a circular carbon economy. Another significant advancement is the development of photocatalysts that use sunlight to drive the conversion of CO2 and water into hydrocarbons, mimicking the natural process of photosynthesis.
