The scale of the CO2 emissions is such that any mitigation process must generate minimal waste byproducts. Molecular hydrogen (H2) could – in principle – reduce CO2 in a waste-free manner. Here, I will discuss the thermodynamic landscape for CO2 hydrogenation and how that landscape impacts catalyst design. This thermochemical viewpoint on catalysis represents our team’s approach in developing more sustainable chemical processes.
