The role of copper crystallization and segregation toward enhanced methanol synthesis via CO2 hydrogenation over CuZrO2 catalysts: A combined experimental and computational study

Francielle C. F. Marcos et al.

Summary: The role of copper crystallization in enhancing methanol production via CO2 hydrogenation over CuZrO2 catalysts was investigated using a combination of experimental and computational studies. It was found that the intermediate steps of the catalyzed reaction might depend on the incorporation of copper in the zirconia sample. Catalysts containing only amorphous interfacial sites showed higher activity in the CO2-to-methanol hydrogenation process compared to catalysts with high crystallinity of copper.

Life cycle assessment of combustion-based electricity generation technologies integrated with carbon capture and storage: A review

Yan Wang et al.

Summary: Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a key technology for reducing CO2 emissions from conventional power systems. This review examines the past 10 years of life cycle assessment (LCA) research on combustion-based electricity generation systems integrated with CCS. The studies show that CCS can reduce direct CO2 emissions from power plants by nearly 90%, but it also increases other environmental impacts and results in an energy penalty of 15-44%. Factors such as time span and leakage need to be considered in LCA, and the focus should shift towards large-scale deployment and interdisciplinary assessments.

Summary: This study explores the impact of water removal on CO2 conversion and irreversibility in a CO2 methanation reactor, finding that for short reactors, the highest conversion and irreversibility occur when the water removal point is in the middle, but for longer reactors, the highest conversion is achieved when the water removal point is shifted towards the end with a smaller thermodynamic penalty.
