Preface
Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) conversion covers a wide scope of conceivable applications
starting from fuels to chemicals and aims to solve the problem of global warming
which arises due to the carbon dioxide emissions. Several synthetic pathways, such
as photochemical, electrochemical, biochemical, and microwave-assisted, are considered potential methods of carbon dioxide conversion. Carbon dioxide conversion
helps the reduction of global warming and solves environmental issues by reducing
fossil fuel depletion or providing alternative products. Carbon dioxide as an alternative feedstock may provide amicable solutions for the issues of global warming.
However, the mission of using carbon dioxide as an alternative feedstock to get the
fuels and chemicals will surely continue to stimulate the creativity of scientific
experts and chemical engineers. The conversion of carbon dioxide into value-added
products is under consideration for the development and use of alternative, renewable energy sources. Thus, carbon dioxide as an alternative feedstock has a mindblowing future, yet more innovative studies are expected to popularize at an
enormous scale.
Conversion of Carbon Dioxide into Hydrocarbons Vol 2: Technology provides an
in-depth overview to produce sustainable fuels and value-added chemicals. It
focuses on carbon dioxide conversion by using nanomaterials. The industrial strategies are also discussed in details. It also contains the methods used for the conversion of carbon dioxide into some of the important hydrocarbons such as methanol,
ethanol, formic acid, formaldehyde, and syngas. It also provides literature and
reviews on the biological conversion of carbon dioxide into volatile organic compounds. It supplies fundamental knowledge on carbon dioxide conversion technology and helps in the understanding of the broad range of topics. It is a unique book
and an extremely well-structured and essential resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students, faculty, R&D professionals, production chemists, environmental
engineers, and industrial experts. Based on thematic topics, the book edition contains the following seven chapters:
Chapter 1 highlights the use of CO 2 as a carbon substrate in the synthesis of
polymers or polymer building blocks through biological processes. It also captures
