Carbon Dioxide Hydrogenation into Methanol over Cu/Zn-based Catalysts – Effect of Reaction Pressure and Temperature

The chemical fixation of carbon into value-added products such as methanol is being pursuit as a sustainable route to mitigate industrial emissions. This work shows that Cu/Zn based catalysts are highly selective to methanol (> 90 mol.%)  with CO₂ conversion of 18% under reaction conditions of 270^oC and 70 bar.
