CO2 reuse. State of the art and expert opinion. Case of wast

Summary

This document looks at the various ways of recovering CO2 (the main man-made greenhouse gas). Processes such as methanation, microalgae cultivation and mineralisation (and many others!) are examined. One of the high added-value points of this work is that it draws heavily on the opinions of international experts. The entry point for this study is CO2 from waste recovery/treatment activities, but it will be of interest to anyone wishing to know about the current state of development of CO2 conversion/recovering methods and, above all, their respective development potential. This work builds on a previous RECORD study on CO2 capture processes (ref. 11-0236/1A).
