Chapter Title:
Reduction of CO 2 to CO and Their Applications
Summary:
In the following section, the direct reduction of gaseous CO2 to CO will be discussed with particular focus on examples demonstrating its application in ensuing reactions. First, the metal-mediated reverse water–gas shift reaction (RWGSR) will be introduced and its utilization in tandem hydroformylation, hydrocarboxylation, hydroalkoxylation, and hydroaminomethylation reactions for the synthesis of aldehydes, alcohols, carboxylic acids, and amines, from olefins. Second, the electrocatalytic and photocatalytic reduction of CO2 and its application in carbonylation chemistry will be discussed, including their advantages and limitations. Finally, the stoichiometric utilization of chemical reductants, containing either boron or silicon, and their application in the, comparatively, mild conversion of CO2 to CO will be examined.

Grant: Novo Nordisk Foundation Research Center
NordCO2 PIs Kathrin Hopmann and Troels Skrydstrup will be participating (with their research groups!) in the Novo Nordisk Foundation Research Center along five other institutions. The centre, based at Aarhus University, is focused on developing technologies for the capture, storage and recycling of CO2. The grant amount is about 850 million NOK (84.7 million €).
New Year, New Leader
Ainara Nova (UiO) will now be leading NordCO2, replacing Kathrin Hopmann (UiT). They have been co-leading during 2020 for the smoothest of transitions 😎
Thanks to Kathrin for her efforts and Congratulations to Ainara 👏 👏
