Description

"Styring, Quadrelli, and Armstrong's Carbon dioxide utilisation: closing the carbon cycle offers a comprehensive and diverse journey through carbon dioxide utilisation technologies, applications, and future perspectives. It is the first book that brings together world leading chemists, engineers, and social scientists to produce a whole systems approach to CDU -- from co-reactant choice to energy integration. The editors and experts examine all aspects of CDU, from its capture, chemical conversion, and ultimate use in a variety of chemicals. This body of work shows how the extra energy can be derived from intermittent renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, and how to store excess energy in value-added chemicals. Examples of reactions and processes complement the thorough consideration of the market value, capacity, and supply chain, addressing where co-reactants will be sourced from, how energy can be integrated, and how these new chemicals can be introduced into the market place. The book combines catalysis, process engineering, and green chemistry in a logical approach to using CO2 on reasonable scales, without compromising the supply chain by using environmentally questionable sources of co-reactants and catalysts."--Back cover.
