A rising global population and transition to resource-intensive lifestyles has driven a dramatic increase in the post-industrial revolution consumption of fossil fuels for heat, power and manufacturing. 1, 2 Associated anthropogenic CO2 emissions (the combustion of one ton of fossil fuels produces almost four tons of CO2) have shown a corresponding steep rise in atmospheric concentrations, with the Mauna Loa station in Hawaii reporting 409 ppm in July 2018. 3 Rising atmospheric CO2 levels and the depletion of economically viable fossil fuel reserves through environmentally benign processes, directly impact on the global climate and future energy supplies, with the 5th Climate Change report (released by the IPCC in 2014) highlighting the potential consequences for extreme weather events and long-term mean global temperatures, 4 underpinning the subsequent Paris Agreement. 5 Hence, there is growing interest in the capture, storage and utilisation of CO2 as a new chemical feedstock for fuels and the production of chemicals. 6–10
