A shift towards implementation of renewable energy has
disadvantages, such as power availability, storage capacity, and
accompanying costs, and therefore the potential of clean fossil
fuel technologies to ensure the stability of electricity generation
needs to be reconsidered until these challenges will be overcome.
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, starting from
the formation of CO2, through its capture, possible cleaning, to
the production of useful products such as dimethylether, methanol,
and carbonated cement 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.
Biorefineries are becoming increasingly important in providing
sustainable routes for chemical industry processes. The
establishment of bio-economic models, based on biorefineries for
the creation of innovative products with high added value, such as
biochemicals and bioplastics, allows the development of "green
chemistry" methods in synergy with traditional chemistry. This
reduces the heavy dependence on imports and assists the development
of economically and environmentally sustainable production
processes, that accommodate the huge investments, research and
innovation efforts. This book explores the most effective or
promising catalytic processes for the conversion of biobased
components into high added value products, as platform chemicals
and intermediates. With a focus on heterogeneous catalysis, this
book is ideal for researchers working in catalysis and in green
chemistry.
