GLOBAL CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS AND CONSUMPTION IN 2014

Liquid and solid fuels accounted for 75.8% Combustion of gas fuels or natural gas accounted for 18.4% Emissions from cement production accounted for around 5.3% Gas flaring, which was estimated at around 2% during the 1970s,

has fallen to less than 1% currently.

CO2 Consumption164 million tons in 2014

OBJECTIVES OF CO2 TRANSFORMATION

Five technical options for control of CO2emissions:

• Energy choices • Energy efficiency• CO2 capture• CO2 sequestration• CO2 utilization

Objectives of CO2Transformation:

• To use of CO2 for environmentally-benign physical or chemical processing based on the unique physical or chemical properties of CO2

• To produce value added chemicals and materials using CO2 as a reactant or feedstock

• To replace a hazardous substance or a less-effective substance in existing processes with CO2 as an alternate medium or solvent or co-reactant or a combination of them

CHALLENGES AND OBJECTIVE

Challenges

Economical CO2 utilization processes that offer net CO2 and waste reductions

Most vented CO2 cannot be used directly by industry—it needs to be recovered or purified

Opportunities

Several value-add products can be produced by alternative methods

Objectives

Develop cutting edge technology for purification and re-utilization of captured CO2
