Heterogeneous Catalytic Conversion of Greenhouse Gas CO₂to Fuels

Influence of reduction temperature on the formation of intermetallic Pd2Ga phase and its catalytic activity in CO2 hydrogenation to methanol

“…The chemical conversion of greenhouse gas CO 2 to fuels and chemicals from its point sources is considered as the most favorable way to mitigate its rising concentration in the atmosphere. Catalytic conversion of CO 2 to methanol will not only check global warming but will also provide an alternative source of fuel . The methanol acts as a liquid hydrogen carrier at ambient conditions, which can be readily stored, transported, and distributed using essentially existing infrastructure .…”

“…Catalytic conversion of CO 2 to methanol will not only check global warming but will also provide an alternative source of fuel. 2,3 The methanol acts as a liquid hydrogen carrier at ambient conditions, which can be readily stored, transported, and distributed using essentially existing infrastructure. 4 However, inert nature of the CO 2 molecule and dominance of reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction are the two most important K Ahmad, S Upadhyayula Short Communication: CO 2 conversion to CH 3 OH over Pd-Ga catalyst at atmospheric pressure challenges to develop a highly active and selective catalyst for this process.…”
