Catalytic Hydrogenation of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide to Methanol

Here, we present a new method of CO₂ hydrogenation for energy storage from H₂ produced via water electrolysis. The present study shows the methanol synthesis under supercritical conditions using Cu/ZnO/Al₂O₃-catalyst where the reaction equilibrium is shifted to product side and high space-time-yields and therefore low investment costs could be achieved.
