While greenhouse gases emissions are reaching alarming levels, fossil fuels still represent 80% of the world energy portfolio and 95% of our chemical commodities rely on non-renewable resources, namely hydrocarbons. In this context, utilizing CO2 as a C1 building block to produce platform chemicals and fuels as an alternative to petrochemistry has a double advantage of reusing CO2 while sparing fossil resources and avoiding CO2 emissions from their use. [1] In this presentation, the main conclusion of the report ordered by SAPEA to a panel of 15 European experts in the field will be discussed.

Domains: Material chemistry; Catalysis; Coordination chemistry
