Just two steps: Two new strategies with regard to the “methanol economy” proposal have been developed: an indirect CO 2 ‐derivative‐to‐methanol conversion by means of a metal ligand cooperative catalysis and a stepwise CO 2 ‐to‐methanol conversion via cascade catalysis. These represent a significant scientific development with respect to the current on‐going challenges on energy and fuel for a sustainable future.
