Abstract

Two major challenges facing the global chemical community over the next two decades are: stabilizing and reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels to mitigate the effects of climate change; 1 and developing sustainable raw materials for the chemicals industry to replace crude oil. 2 One approach to both of these problems is the development of commercially viable routes to basic chemicals that employ carbon dioxide as the starting material. 3,4 However, if ...
