CO2 recycling in a Circular Carbon Economy using renewable energy - Columbia Climate School

Objective/theme

Recycling CO2 into valuable chemicals, fuels, and materials has emerged as an opportunity to reduce the emissions of these products. In this way, CO2 recycling is a potential cornerstone of a circular carbon economy that can support a net-zero future. 

Process & benefits

The pathways studied consume renewable (low-carbon) electricity and use chemical feedstocks derived from electrochemical pathways powered by renewable energy. 

The paper concludes with targeted policy recommendations to support CO2 recycling innovation and deployment.
