Chemical Fixation of CO{sub 2} to Acrylates Using Low-Valent Molybdenum Sources

Carbon dioxide utilization efforts focus on pathways and novel approaches for reducing CO2 emissions by developing beneficial uses for CO2 that will mitigate emissions in areas where geologic storage may not be the optimal solution. Utilization is an important component in carbon sequestration and some of the applicable approaches are conversion of CO2 into useful chemicals and polycarbonate plastics; storage of CO2 in solid materials having economic value; indirect storage of CO2, and other breakthrough concepts.
