Heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of carbon dioxide into hydrocarbons: achievements and prospects

The works published over the past 10 years on the catalytic hydrogenation of carbon dioxide into methane and C2+ hydrocarbons are considered. The choice of catalysts based on their elemental and phase composition, structural-porous characteristics, grain-size and acidic properties, the reaction mechanism and problems and prospects for the industrial application of heterogeneous catalytic conversion of CO2 to hydrocarbons are discussed.
