Perspective on sustainable strategies for integrating catalytic CO2 valorization in industrial processes: advances, challenges, and opportunities

This perspective paper explores the pivotal intersection of sustainability, industrial processes, and catalytic CO 2 valorization. Industrial activities contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, necessitating a shift towards positioning CO 2 as a valuable resource rather than a pollutant. Catalytic valorization not only mitigates emissions but also fosters a circular economy by using CO 2 as carbon pool for fuels and chemical synthesis. This perspective highlights recent advances, emerging technologies, and economic considerations in CO 2 valorization, emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration. It evaluates economic viability, identifies challenges, and underscores the importance of infrastructure, market acceptance, and regulatory frameworks. As industries pursue sustainability, CO 2 valorization offers a transformative solution for a greener industrial landscape.
