Abstract: The growing emission of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), combined with its ecotoxicity, is the reason for the intensification of research on the new technology of CO 2 management. Currently, it is believed that it is not possible to eliminate whole CO 2 emissions. However, a sustainable balance sheet is possible. The solution is technologies that use carbon dioxide as a raw material. Many of these methods are based on CO 2 methanation, for example, projects such as Power-to-Gas, production of fuels, or polymers. This article presents the concept of using CO 2 as a raw material, the catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide to methane, and consideration on CO 2 methanation catalysts and their design.
