This Review introduces this special issue of ChemSusChem dedicated to CO(2) recycling. Its aim is to offer an up-to-date overview of CO(2) chemical utilization (inorganic mineralization, organic carboxylation, reduction reactions, and biochemical conversion), as a continuation and extension of earlier books and reviews on this topic, but with a specific focus on large-volume routes and projects/pilot plants that are currently emerging at (pre-)industrial level. The Review also highlights how some of these routes will offer a valuable opportunity to introduce renewable energy into the existing energy and chemical infrastructure (i.e., "drop-in" renewable energy) by synthesis of chemicals from CO(2) that are easy to transport and store. CO(2) conversion therefore has the potential to become a key pillar of the sustainable and resource-efficient production of chemicals and energy from renewables.
本综述介绍了 ChemSusChem 特刊，专门讨论 CO(2) 的回收利用。其目的是提供 CO(2) 化学利用（无机矿化、有机羧化、还原反应和生化转化）的最新概述，这是对该主题早期书籍和综述的延续和扩展，但特别关注目前正在（预）工业化水平上出现的大容量路线和项目/中试工厂。该综述还强调了这些路线中的一些将如何通过从 CO(2) 合成易于运输和储存的化学品，为现有能源和化学基础设施（即“可替代”可再生能源）引入可再生能源提供宝贵机会。因此，CO(2) 的转化有可能成为从可再生能源可持续和资源高效生产化学品和能源的关键支柱。
