The impending depletion of fossil resources combined with their most visible environmental consequences has led mankind to seek new methods to meet its energy needs in the direction of sustainable development. The latter implies the development of advanced energy production and storage technologies, which will be based on inexhaustible resources while being economical and environmentally friendly. In this direction, capturing and converting CO2 emissions (the most important of greenhouse gases) into alcohols (methanol and ethanol) can make the greatest contribution to meeting energy needs and protecting the environment. The present thesis examines the existing technologies for CO2 capture and conversion. The ways of producing and exploiting the derived fuels are presented. Particular emphasis is placed on the capture, storage and chemical conversion of carbon dioxide into methanol (CH3OH).
