The Carbon Chain in Carbon Dioxide Industrial Utilization Technologies: A Case Study

A shift to the implementation of renewable energy and low-emission fuels has particular disadvantages, such as availability, storage issues, costs, etc., and therefore the potential for using clean fossil fuel technologies for the production of electricity should be reconsidered. These clean technologies can help prevent the greenhouse effect and, at the same time, guarantee energy security, as coal is a widespread, price-stable raw material that is available in large quantities. This book focuses on the carbon chain, and the formation of CO2, through its capture, possible cleaning, to the production of useful products such as dimethylether, methanol, and carbon-enriched prefabricates. The comprehensive case study presents the research results of an international team established within the CCS-CCU technology for carbon footprint reduction using bio-adsorbents (BIOCO2) project.
