2014 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Catalysis for CO2 Conversion I

The (photo/electro-) catalytic fixation of CO2 into fine chemicals and fuels is a promising technology to reduce overall CO2 emissions. We invite theoretical and experimental contributions that use CO2 as feedstock for the production of CO, methane, methanol, formic acid, hydrocarbons and other useful products.
