Carbon dioxide (CO2) will become increasingly available as a cheap, renewable, and abundant carbon feedstock as commercialization for the carbon capture and storage (CCS) from power plants is coming into play. Development of highly efficient methods for CO2 reduction would greatly increase the range of possible products derivable from CO2. Herein, we demonstrate the concept of the utilization of industrial amine captured CO2 by converting amine-CO2 adducts from the CCS process to formic acid, a valued-added commodity chemical, which can be sold for profit and subsidize the CCS process. We have developed a highly efficient carbon supported palladium heterogeneous catalytic system that will be stable in aqueous solutions in the presence of a variety of amines. The effects of the amine structures and the aqueous phase intermediates on the yield of formic acid were also investigated.
