Catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 as a method for obtaining valuable chemical products

The review is devoted to generalization and comparative analysis of recent literature data on the conversion of carbon dioxide to methanol, dimethyl ether and hydrocarbons С2+, including olefins, by catalytic hydrogenation. The main ways for achieving high activity and selectivity of such processes were shown to be the deliberate design of catalysts and the selection of conditions for hydrogenation processes, particularly with the use of supercritical CO2 and alternative physicochemical methods of CO2 activation (electrocatalysis and photocatalysis).
