Abstract: Turning carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) into fuels and chemicals using chemical, photochemical, electrochemical, and enzymatic methods could be used to recycle large quantities of carbon. The enzymatic method, which is inspired by cellular CO 2 metabolism, has attracted considerable attention for efficient CO 2 conversion due to improved selectivity and yields under mild reaction conditions. In this review, the research progress of green and potent enzymatic conversion of CO 2 into useful fuels and chemicals was discussed. Furthermore, applications of the enzymatic conversion of CO 2 to assist in CO 2 capture and sequestration were highlighted. A summary including the industrial applications, barriers, and some perspectives on the research and development of the enzymatic approach to convert CO 2 were introduced.
