  • SYNTHESIS OF HYDROCARBONS VIA CATALYTIC REDUCTION OF CO2
    Publication number: 20080051478
    Abstract: A method of: introducing hydrogen and a feed gas containing at least 50 vol % carbon dioxide into a reactor containing a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst; and heating the hydrogen and carbon dioxide to a temperature of at least about 190° C. to produce hydrocarbons in the reactor.
