The problem of carbon dioxide utilization is of increasing concern to the public, since measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are no longer sufficient to prevent a global increase in temperature on the planet. The global energy sector is facing two major challenges: skyrocketing prices for petroleum products and an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere by industry. The growing anthropogenic pressure on the environment has increased interest in the geological storage of carbon dioxide. Developments in the field of alternative energy sources are becoming more and more relevant: hydrogenation and synthesis, solar energy, hydrogen energy. Promising trend, from the point of view of utilization, is associated with the production and use of environmentally friendly energy carriers through the conversion of carbon dioxide. The article discusses modern technologies for producing hydrogen and industrial conversion of carbon dioxide into useful products, including the author's nature-like method for converting carbon dioxide into green energy resources. Keywords: carbon dioxide utilization; underground storage; hydrogenation and synthesis; hydrocarbons; hydrogen; alternative energy sources; catalysts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
