MITIGATION OF THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT AND VALUE CREATION THROUGH INDUSTRIAL USES OF CO2

Reduction of CO2 emissions has become a common target of the international community and several actions have been proposed for its reduction (less use of fossil fuels, use of renewable energy sources, storage of CO2 in the oceans or subsoil etc.). The paper, however, pays particular attention to technologies and products that use the CO2 forget raw materials and goods to put on the market. That is, ultimately, the way to reduce the environmental impact and, in the same time, create economic value. The authors bring attention to certain processes and quantify these opportunities
