Abstract

This chapter introduces carbon dioxide (CO2) hydrogenation to fuel and valuable chemicals as a best approach for CO2 mitigation. Among the useful products, methanol (MeOH), dimethyl ether (DME) and syngas are highly attractive industrial feedstocks. This chapter provides an overview of the mechanism of catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol, dimethyl ether and syngas which mainly undergoes via a methanol-mediated route or modified-CO2 Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) via two-step RWGS reaction and FT synthesis. The advancement in hydrogenation catalysts for CO2 conversion to MeOH, syngas and DME is highlighted. This chapter outlines the progress toward promoters, catalyst supports, structure–performance associations and reaction conditions’ optimization for each process. In addition, this chapter describes the importance of heterogeneous catalysis and future perspectives for the design of efficient catalysts for CO2 conversion to valuable products.
