Growing concerns about environmental pollution and energy shortages have prompted new seeks in the field of chemistry and sustainable processes, for meeting human development goals while at the same time protecting the environment and preserving natural resources. On this address, European Community nations have adopted new Policies for a sustainable development, aiming to replace the fossil source and modify the traditional refinery by introducing renewable biofeedstock. Furthermore, the utilization of CO2 as “raw material” for the synthesis of value-added products (oils, solvents, chemicals, etc.) appears one of the most promising strategic route for a “greener economy”. To meet these goals, it become imperative the design and development of novel advanced cata... view moreĀ»
