The fixation of carbon dioxide in inorganic and organic chemicals

The recovery of carbon dioxide from concentrated sources is currently under evaluation as a technology for the control of the emission into the atmosphere. In order this option would be operative it is necessary to define the fate of recovered carbon dioxide. Two ways are open forward: 1. - disposal in natural fields (oceans, aquifers, deep geological cavities); 2. - utilisation (technological use or chemical conversion). The fixation in chemicals can contribute both to reduce the use of fossil carbon and to cut the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
