Carbon Recycling Through CO2-Conversion for Stepping Toward a Cyclic-C Economy. A Perspective

The conversion of CO2 into added value chemicals, materials and fuels is a case of transition from the linear to the cyclic-C economy, a necessary change for stopping the putative negative effect of CO2 on climate and the environment. Several strategies can be implemented for CO2 conversion and thei...
