• Sommario/riassunto: Recycling carbon-dioxide at the source would not only go a long way towards minimizing the emissions, but would also motivate industry leaders to take the positive approach for CO2 reuse. Transforming Carbon Dioxide into Synthetic Fuels presents power plant engineers, process engineers, chemical engineers, electrochemists, scientists, and professors with several technologies that can be used to recycle carbon-dioxide into fossil fuel equivalent and minimize carbon dioxide emissions. The authors demonstrate how to make these conversions from alternative green energy sources, such as sola
