Abstract
A method for converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful carbonaceous compounds includes the steps of recovering CO2 from a CO2 emitting source, passing the recovered CO2 through a CO2 stripper, and using CO2 passed through the CO2 stripper as feedstock for reactions that generate useful carbonaceous compounds. The method further reduces CO2 emissions by preparing CO2 to be used as feedstock to drive other beneficial reactions.

A method for converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful carbonaceous compounds, comprising:
- recovering CO2 from a CO2 emitting source;
- passing the recovered CO2 through a CO2 stripper;
- and
- using CO2 passed through the CO2 stripper as feedstock for reactions that generate useful carbonaceous compounds.

A method for producing gasoline, comprising:
- diverting CO2 from an electric generating unit to an amine scrubber to generate a CO2-rich amine absorber fluid;
- flowing the CO2-rich amine absorber fluid to a dry reformer;
- and
- mixing the CO2-rich amine absorber fluid in the dry reformer with methane and steam to yield a synthesis gas.

A method for fractionating olivine, comprising:
- diverting CO2 from an electric generating unit to an amine scrubber to generate a CO2-rich amine absorber fluid;
- flowing the CO2-rich amine absorber fluid to a carbon dioxide stripper;
- and
- contacting a solution of soluble silicic acid with the CO2-rich amine absorber fluid to form carbonic acid, wherein the carbonic acid precipitates silica.
