| Abstract: | Amongst the various
greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere, carbon dioxide emission is the
highest in terms of tonnage and has been identified as a predominant source
contributing to climate change. Owing to its abundance through anthropogenic
sources, it is highly desirable to utilize CO2 to produce valuable
products, in particular fuels and large volume chemicals, and thereby mitigate
significantly its environmental impact. This review aims to cover the attempts
made in utilizing CO2 for the production of fuels, fuel additives
and bio-derived chemicals, in particular organic carbonates. Although this
review does not intend to encompass the literature in the holistic manner, it
does endeavor to provide recent approaches, difficulties, challenges and offer
perspective in the years to come on this important area of research.
