Opportunities and Challenges for Catalysis in Carbon Dioxide Utilization

The environmental and societal consequences of the increasing levels of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere are among the most significant challenges society currently faces. Carbon dioxide utilization, in which carbon dioxide is either used directly or converted into more valuable products, is likely to be one component of a broad strategy to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, a challenge that will require both technological and policy changes. Catalysis is crucial to the successful conversion of carbon dioxide into value-added products. Here, we provide a review on chemical and biological systems for carbon dioxide conversion directed toward the readers of ACS Catalysis, which focuses on providing a general…
