What if the chemical industry could use the carbon dioxide produced by power plants to create these and many other products? Both of these problems could be significantly mitigated if we could use CO2 as a carbon source for the production of fuels and chemical feedstocks. Can plants and wood be broken down into useful chemicals for the production of the consumer and One part of the center's research will focus on carbon dioxide as a feedstock, instead of a non-renewable resource such as petroleum. Alternatively, instead of storage, the captured CO2 could be used as a chemical feedstock to produce carbon-based fuels and chemicals when combined with renewable hydrogen produced using additional wind energy. The company says that The company says that using this new process allows them to produce bulk volumes of pristine, few-layer graphene platelets from inexpensive, commonly available feedstock. Methanol and its products can not only be used as a fuel or for driving fuel cells, they are also a versatile feedstock for chemical industry. Graphene Technologies logo Graphene Technologies has been issued a US patent (#8,420,042) for a process for atom-by-atom synthesis of graphene by the exothermic chemical reduction of carbon dioxide. Though the work is ongoing, Olah and Prakash hope to find a low-cost/low-energy method of turning the captured carbon dioxide into methanol — which can be burned as a fuel source and used as a chemical feed-stock. Various different approaches are currently being explored for the catalytic conversion of CO2 to conduct this stepwise reaction of CO2 in solution with help of a homogeneous catalyst. Riken-co2-into-catalyst While some groups search for ways to lower and store carbon dioxide (CO2) gas emissions, there are efforts worldwide to convert this molecule into a chemical feedstock. A team of researchers from the University of Bath have opened up the idea of using carbon dioxide as a useful potential feedstock; a useful chemical resource rather than a troublesome waste product.
