Carbon Dioxide as Chemical Feedstock Michele Aresta

After all, carbon is a key CO2 can be used to boost the production of depleted oil wells in a process known as enhanced oil recovery (EOR), to produce chemicals such as ammonia, urea for fertilisers and polycarbonates that can be used in paints. It uses the chemical process discovered by French Nobel laureate and chemist Paul Sabatier, who found that elevated temperatures and pressures could turn hydrogen and carbon dioxide into methane and water. Zhaomin Hou and colleagues from the RIKEN Advanced S .. 'The latest study will look into coal gasification to produce competitive supply of hydrogen and carbon monoxide feedstock for the chemical plants and also for utilities,' an EDB spokesperson told BT last Friday.

But the use of biomass for energy generation combined with carbon capture and storage is less costly than chemical options, as long as sufficient biomass feedstock is available, the scientists point out. Besides changing the chemistry of inorganic compounds and feedstock for biofuel production, CO2 has some potential for plastics. The algae would be exposed to sunlight, in water mixed with carbon dioxide, and would give off ethanol and oxygen. Dow wants the ethanol as a feedstock for plastic, replacing natural gas. In a new twist on carbon capture and storage a number of entrepreneurial companies are looking to turn the gas into a valuable feedstock, rather than simply locking it away underground. (MHI) has signed a license agreement for carbon dioxide (CO2) recovery technology with Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited (ECPL), a diversified chemical company and the second-largest producer of urea The technology to be licensed by MHI separates and recovers CO2 from flue gas emitted during the urea production process and provides the captured CO2 as feedstock for urea and methanol synthesis. Because carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is a freely available resource, there are concerted efforts worldwide to convert this molecule into a chemical feedstock. The company and Dow Chemical are expected to announce on Monday that they are building a pilot plant on the site of a Dow plant in Freeport, Tex., that produces carbon dioxide as a by-product of several different processes.
