Abstract
The changes taking place in the pool of materials available for the production of energy carriers and for the global chemical industry have been characterized. The report was prepared with due consideration of the growing population of our planet and the development of our civilization. The hydrogen production methods have been described. Subsequently, the research findings have been provided on catalytic hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to methanol and hydrocarbons in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process.
Highlights
For many thousand years humanity has fulfilled its energy needs through biomass available in their natural habitat and cultivated through agriculture
When the prices of crude oil began to grow in comparison to other nonrenewable energy carriers, the technology of coal and gas refinement grew in popularity worldwide [1, 7]
Much hydrogen is still manufactured through gasification of coal and heavy oils coming from the processing of crude oil
Summary
For many thousand years humanity has fulfilled its energy needs through biomass available in their natural habitat and cultivated through agriculture. When the prices of crude oil began to grow in comparison to other nonrenewable energy carriers (this was related to the fact that the resources of crude oil are much smaller than those of coal and gas including hydrates), the technology of coal and gas refinement grew in popularity worldwide [1, 7]. The emission of this toxic gas exceeds 24 billion tons per annum [2, 6]
