The role of carbon dioxide in our changing climate is now hard to ignore, and many countries are making pledges to reduce or eliminate their carbon output. Chemical valorisation of carbon dioxide, as an alternative to sequestration, is likely to play an important part in reaching these targets, and as such is one of the fastest developing areas of green chemistry and chemical reaction engineering.
Providing a comprehensive panorama of recent advances in the methods and technologies for chemical valorisation of carbon dioxide, this book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in sustainability and green chemistry. Both the technological improvements in traditional processes and new methods and concepts are discussed, including various (renewable) electricity-based methods, as well as novel catalytic, photocatalytic and biocatalytic approaches.

Full Professor at Warsaw University of Technology, Poland, former Chair of Process Intensification at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands, and former Director of TU Delft Process Technology Institute. With more than 40 years of industrial and academic research experience he is author of numerous scientific publications on process intensification, chemical reaction engineering and industrial catalysis. He is principal author and co-editor of the world’s first book on Process Intensification.
Prof. Stankiewicz is Editor-in-Chief of Chemical and Process Engineering: New Frontiers (Polish Academy of Sciences) and Series Editor of the Green Chemistry Books Series (Royal Society of Chemistry). He was founder and first Chairman of the Working Party on Process Intensification at the European Federation of Chemical Engineering. He was also founder and Chairman the Board of the European Process Intensification Centre (EUROPIC).
Current research interests of Prof. Stankiewicz focus on intensification of catalytic processes using renewable electricity-based energy fields. The research in that area has brought him prestigious Advanced Investigator Grant from the European Research Council.
