CO₂ electroreduction is considered as a means to overcome climate change by converting CO₂ into value-added chemicals and liquid fuels. Although numerous researchers have screened versatile metal for the use of electrodes, and looked into the reaction mechanism, it is still required to develop highly enhanced electrocatalyst for CO₂ reduction to reach beyond lab-scale. Plasma treatment applying onto the surface of meal electrodes could improve activity, selectivity and stability of the electrocatalysts. This review highlights the effect of plasma pretreatment, and provides insight to design suitable CO₂ electrocatalyst.

The main purpose of this paper is to suggest opportunities for reducing $CO_2$ emission in energy conversion of a vehicle, focused on auxiliary energy improvement in the automotive field. As part of worldwide efforts to curb global warming and to protect the domestic industry as trade barriers, many countries have set goals to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. As an example, new $CO_2$ emission regulation in EU was expected to go into effect strictly in 2020. Therefore, global car-makers need to establish strategic responsiveness of the regulations. This paper shows $CO_2$ economic value by using the correct interpretation of the relevant laws and regulations. The $CO_2$ value analyzed using quantitative figures leads to the possibility of auxiliary(accessories, HVAC, electric apparatus etc.) technology for improving fuel economy. As a result, this study generalizes the meaning of electric power saving for each driving mode by auxiliary energy improvement.

Effects of $CO_2$ partial pressure($pCO_2$) on the characteristics of methane production rate and organic matter degradation in anaerobic digestion were investigated by using anaerobic chemostat type reactors at $35{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, at the HRT of 7days. The $pCO_2$ of the reactors was controlled in the range from 0.1 to 0.8 atm. Since the $pCO_2$ in an uncontrolled condition was about 0.4atm, $N_2$ was added for the reactors controlled of $pCO_2$ of between 0.1 and 0.4atm. At $pCO_2$ of 0.5 atm, the methane production rate was approximately 20% more that in an uncontrolled condition of $pCO_2$. Based on the carbon mass balance, it was concluded that methane production was related to the increment of removal organic carbon and consumption of $CO_2$. At $pCO_2$ of 0.5atm, the methane production by the increment of removal substrates increased 13.6%, on the orther hand, hand, the methane production by the conversion of $CO_2$ to methane increased 6.4%.

화석연료의 사용과 바이오가스 생산 과정에서 공기오염과 기후변화문제가 발생된다. 기후변화 주요 원인물질인 이산화탄소와 메탄을 양질의 에너지원으로 전환하는데 연구가 지속되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 바이오가스를 양질의 에너지로 전환하고 태양광과 풍력과 같은 연속생산의 문제가 있는 재생에너지와 연계된 태양연료를 생산하기 위해 플라즈마-탄화물 전환장치를 제안하였다. 그리고 이에 대한 가능성을 제시하기 위해 바이오가스 전환에 영향을 미치는 O₂/C비, 전체가스공급량, CO₂/CH₄공급비의 변화에 따른 전환 및 생성가스 특성 파악하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. O₂/C비가 높아질수록 메탄과 이산화탄소의 전환이 증가하였다. 전체가스공급량은 임의 특정 값에서 최대의 전환을 보였다. CO₂/CH₄비 감소할 때 전환율이 증가되었다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 본 연구에서 새로이 제안된 플라즈마 산화분해-탄화물 가스화 전환에 의한 태양연료 생산의 가능성이 확인되었다. 그리고 O₂/C비가 0.8이고 CO₂/CH₄를 0.67로 하여 전체가스공급량을 40 L min^-1 (VHSV = 1.37)로 공급할 경우 이산화탄소와 메탄 전환이 최대가 되어 생성가스 중 양질의 연료인 수소와 일산화탄소로의 전환이 최대를 보였다.

본 연구에서는 Pd-Ni-YSZ 촉매의 형태 및 공급되는 가스 조성에 따른 수증기-이산화탄소 복합개질 반응 특성을 평가하였다. 촉매는 분말 형태와 다공성 디스크 형태로 제조되었으며 주입 가스는 $CH_4/CO_2/H_2O$ ratio를 각각 다르게 하여 공급하였다. 그 결과 분말 형태의 촉매와 비교하여 다공성 디스크 형태 촉매를 사용하였을 때 $CH_4$와 $CO_2$ 전환율이 전반적으로 향상되었으며, 공급가스의 $CH_4/CO_2/H_2O$ ratio를 1 : 0.5 : 0.5로 하였을 때 $H_2/CO$ ratio가 2에 가깝게 조절되었다. 하지만 탄소침적에 의해 반응 시작 6 h 이후 $CH_4$ 전환율이 일부 감소하였으며 압력 강하가 0.1에서 0.8로 증가하였다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 공급되는 가스의 $CH_4/CO_2/H_2O$ ratio를 조절하여 수분 비율을 최적화한 결과, 1 : 0.5 : 1의 비율로 가스를 공급할 경우 탄소 침적 방지를 통한 내구성 확보가 가능하였으며 전환율 역시 비교적 높은 수준으로 유지됨을 확인하였다.

For natural gas and LPG fuel, measurements on the concentrations of individual exhaust hydrocarbon species have been made as a function of air-fuel ratio in a 2-liter four-cylinder engine using a gas chromatography. NMHC in addition to the species of HC, other emissions such as CO$_2$, CO and NOx were examined for natural gas and LPG at 1800rpm far two compression ratios (8.6 and 10.6). Fuel conversion efficiencies were also investigated together with emissions to study the effect of engine parameters on the combustion performances in gas engines especially under the lean bum conditions. It was found that CO$_2$ emission decreased with smaller C value of fuel, leaner mixture strength and the higher compression ratio. HC emissions from LPG engine consisted primarily of propane (larger 60%), ethylene and propylene, while main emissions from natural gas were mothane (larger than 60%), ethane, ethylene and propane on the average. The natural gas was proved to give the less ozone formation than LPG fuel. This was accomplished by reducing the emissions of propylene, which has relatively high MIR factor, and propane that originally has large portion of LPG. In addition, natural gas shows a benefit in other emissions (i.e. NMHC,NOx, CO$_2$and CO), SR and BSR values except fuel conversion efficiency.

Batch type reduction-oxidation tests were performed to check effects of temperature, pressure, gas velocity, and capacity on reduction characteristics of mass produced particle in a 0.5 MWth chemical looping combustion system. The fuel conversion and the CO2 selectivity increased as the temperature increased and as the gas velocity decreased. However the CO2 selectivity showed the maximum and decreased as the capacity increased because the CO emission increased. The results show that high temperature, low gas velocity and low inert gas concentration are preferable to ensure high reactivity of oxygen carrier in the fuel reactor.

The recycling technology by the catalytic conversion is one of the most promising techniques for the $CO_2$ treatment of coal burning power plant flue gases. The conversion of $CO_2$ to valuable product of $CH_4$ can be used as a fuel to run the turbine for electricity generation. Through this technique, the amount of coal needed for the combustion in a gas turbine can be reduced as well as $CO_2$ emissions. Therefore, a series of catalysts based on cerium oxide doped with copper, nickel and manganese were prepared by impregnation method. From the characterization analysis, it showed that the prepared catalysts calcined at $400^{\circ}C$ were amorphous in structure with small particle size in the range below 100 nm. Meanwhile, the catalyst particles were aggregated and agglomerated with higher surface area of $286.70m^2g^{-1}$. By increasing the calcination temperature of catalysts to $1000^{\circ}C$, the particle sizes were getting bigger (> 100 nm) and having moderate crystallinity with lower surface area ($67.90m^2g^{-1}$). From the catalytic testing among all the prepared catalysts, Mn/Ce-75/$Al_2O_3$ calcined at $400^{\circ}C$ was assigned as the most potential catalyst which gave 49.05% and 56.79% $CO_2$ conversion at reaction temperature of $100^{\circ}C$ and $200^{\circ}C$, respectively.
