What is the Importance of Catalysis in Carbon Capture and Utilization?
Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) is a vital technology for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Catalysts are used to capture CO2 from industrial emissions and convert it into valuable chemicals and fuels. For example, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a type of catalyst that can efficiently capture and store CO2. Additionally, catalysts such as metal oxides are used to convert captured CO2 into methanol, a valuable fuel and chemical feedstock.
