As the annual production of carbon Dioxide (CO₂) reaches 30 billion tones, the growing issue of the greenhouse effect has triggered the development of technologies for CO₂ sequestration, storage and use as a reactant. Collecting together the reports of the Congress at University of Rome (Campus Bio-medico) held 16th April 2012, CO₂: A Valuable Source of Carbon presents and discusses promising technologies for the industrial exploitation of CO₂.

Divided into two parts, the current technology is evaluated and summarized before European and national projects are presented. The focus on CO₂ recovery, particularly in value-added production, proposes applicable methods to develop sustainable practices  and even to mitigate greenhouse gas emission from large-scale fossil fuels usage.

Including current data and real-world examples, CO₂: A valuable source of carbon  provides students, engineers, researchers and industry professional with up-to-date material and potential areas for development and research.
