Global population and economic growth has led to a corresponding tremendous increase in CO₂ emission.  CO₂ is well-known as a climate destroyer but it can be transformed into a source of economic benefit with the help of new technologies and business ideas. In this talk, the research activities at Institute of Sustainability for Chemical, Energy and Environment, A*STAR on the development and translation of technologies for CO₂-based products will be introduced. These include the conversion of CO₂ to SNG, light olefins and liquid fuels.
