It was also found Arctic tundras and under the seas in the photochemical reduction of CO2 is also that methanol can be conveniently con- areas of the continental shelves. I believe that it is reasonable to verted into ethylene or propylene in the consider the methanol economy as a MTO methanol-to-olefins process practical and sensible approach to even- Scheme 2.

In turn, these olefins can Chemical Recycling of CO2 tually replace fossil fuels. It can provide a feasible and safe way to store energy, As mentioned earlier, methanol can to make available a convenient liquid be also obtained by the reduction of fuel, and assure mankind an unlimited carbon dioxide with hydrogen.

Description

However, the content into methanol and allow an overall high as a poison, so are gasoline and diesel of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is yield of methanol to be obtained. Some suggestions were made to use low at 0.

Thus, new efficient ways direct oxidation of methane, which is ethanol as a fuel as it can be made by to separate CO2 are needed. One way is still available from natural gas sources, fermentation from agricultural products. This also always produces signifi- drawbacks, and even Brazil is limiting its methods; here our ongoing research has cant amounts of formaldehyde and for- ambitious program to convert sugar led to significant advances to allow mic acid.
