Carbon Dioxide as Chemical Feedstock Michele Aresta

What if the chemical industry could use the carbon dioxide produced by power plants to create these and many other products? They accounted for 81% of the global energy supply in 2010, and unless aggressive new measures are taken to reduce CO2 emissions, they are projected to retain a 75% share in 2035.1 Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is the only .. Conventional greenhouse control methods use chemical or physical solvents to separate carbon dioxide (CO2) from various gas species generated from the fossil fuel conversion, which results in significant parasitic energy losses. Note: It will be interesting to see how the economics of such as the Martin & Kubic process compare to CCS [carbon capture and sequestration]. One part of the center's research will focus on carbon dioxide as a feedstock, instead of a non-renewable resource such as petroleum. Carbon Dioxide as a Form of Sequestration in Algae – Which is the Ultimate Feedstock for Biodiesel or Ethanol. The same is applicable to the other so-called traditional by-product sources of CO2 feedstock from other chemical and energy processes and sources. In the former case CO2 is treated as a valuable chemical feedstock. Using coal CO2 as a chemical feedstock would provide locally-sourced energy with lower emissions than oil. The algae process from power, combustion, and other chemical projects including ethanol are therefore a means of sequestering carbon, plus, in some cases, other environmentally harmful agents, with an energy source feedstock in the form of algae generated; which could be used for both ethanol and biodiesel projects. Can plants and wood be broken down into useful chemicals for the production of the consumer and an ethic of sustainability in the chemical sciences.
