Lecture on Carbon Utilization (Conversion)

These flashcards cover essential vocabulary related to carbon utilization and renewable power technologies.

CCU Technology

Carbon Capture and Utilization, refers to processes that capture carbon dioxide and convert it into useful products.

Renewable Power

Energy derived from renewable resources such as solar, wind, and biomass, which can replace fossil fuels.

Heat of Combustion

The amount of energy released when a substance undergoes complete combustion, expressed in kJ/mol.

Green Methanol

Methanol produced using renewable resources and technologies that capture carbon dioxide.

Urea Production

The process of synthesizing urea from carbon dioxide and ammonia, often associated with fertilizers.

Thermal Conversions

Processes that convert carbon dioxide into chemicals or fuels through the addition of heat and energy.

Hydrogen Addition

The process of adding hydrogen to a chemical reaction, often necessary in the synthesis of compounds from CO2.

Carbon Equivalent Reduction

A measure of the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions achieved by using a specific production method.

Sabatier Reaction

A reaction that converts carbon dioxide and hydrogen into methane and water, often used in green methane production.

Green Hydrogen

Hydrogen produced through renewable energy sources, thus having a minimal carbon footprint.
