RECYCLING OF CARBON DIOXIDE TO PROVIDE RENEWABLE ENERGY AND FOR THE MITIGATION OF GREEN HOUSE GAS EMISSIONS

In the wake of overall Industrial and social development of a country the need of energy especially Electricity will continue to grow. The use of fossil fuels like coal and oil has become inevitable in the modern times, either for the production of electricity or for driving automobiles and other transport systems. This is a major contributory factor for the rate of increase in the GHG namely carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Increase in the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere is a major cause of concern in the conservation of nature and in saving the world from natural disaster which follows atmospheric pollution. Already several procedures are followed to decrease or to prevent the increase in carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere. Capture of carbon dioxide and injecting it into dried up oil wells or deep in the ocean or converting it to some useful organic compounds is already in practice. The procedure we propose is to capture carbon dioxide and convert to carbon monoxide which is a very good industrial fuel gas. This procedure does not involve the use of any expensive catalysts or a new technology. This method does not involve the use of sophisticated equipments and is expected to be cost effective.
