Abstract

Carbon dioxide (CO2) utilization was well-practiced through chemical processes to produce useful chemicals, such as syngas (H2/CO), hydrogen (H2), methane (CH4), methanol (MeOH), ethanol (EtOH), dimethyl ether (DME). These chemicals have wide industrially demanded to use as a raw material for generating various other chemicals. CO2 utilization through conversion is a substitute and economical foundation of energy source and is reducing CO2 emissions. Many industries and bulk scale production plants are aimed to produce selective products over the highly active catalyst to trigger the problems. To encounter the industrial reaction parameter challenges, the thermodynamic stimulation is a significant analysis predicting the reaction steps sequences to optimize the parameters and process should be economically viable. The thermodynamic stimulations are mainly, the reaction temperature, reactor pressure, molar ratio of the feed at the inlet, composition/add-on gases to feed ratio, coke formation, and merely depend upon the outlet products stability and selectivity. This chapter comprehensively discussed the thermodynamics of CO2 hydrogenation, H2/CO production, MeOH, EtOH, and DME synthesis.
