Making industrial chemicals green

Captured carbon as a feedstock:

The researchers checked out twenty large-volume chemicals made of fossil-fuel-based hydrocarbons, together with paraxylene, toluene, propylene, and alkane. They then checked out how those industrial chemicals may be fashioned while not the direct use of fossil fuels. Generally, this needs some combination of capturing CO2 and using renewable electricity to reform that CO2 to an artificial hydrocarbon. ....
