On December 26, a signing ceremony for the cooperation on the \"Carbon Dioxide Hydrogenation to Produce Gasoline Project\" between the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Beijing Lingshenxing Energy Technology Co., Ltd. was held in Dalian. The project aims to carry out various tasks such as the scale-up production of catalysts, the development of process packages, and ultimately the completion of pilot-scale reaction demonstrations. The signing of this project marks the transition of carbon dioxide hydrogenation to produce gasoline from the laboratory stage to industrial application, which will help advance the development of green, low-carbon, and environmentally friendly initiatives in our country. The technology for producing gasoline from carbon dioxide via hydrogenation was developed by a team led by Associate Researcher Sun Jian and Researcher Ge Qingjie from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences; it is a patented technology with complete independent intellectual property rights. By designing a completely new Na-Fe3O4/HZSM-5 multifunctional composite catalyst, this technology has achieved the direct hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to produce high-octane gasoline for the first time. This process represents a clean energy strategy that can serve as a potential alternative to fossil fuels; it not only enables carbon emission reduction but also reduces dependence on fossil fuels, holding significant strategic importance for China’s energy security and environmental protection. While making significant breakthroughs in the fundamental scientific research related to the technology of converting carbon dioxide into gasoline through hydrogenation, this research team has also accelerated the engineering development of this technology. They have made progress in areas such as optimizing catalyst preparation methods, extending catalyst lifespan, and designing reactors, thereby overcoming the key technical challenges associated with controlling the selectivity of long-chain hydrocarbons in this process. To date, this technology has successfully completed over 1,000 hours of laboratory stability testing. Under conditions close to those of industrial application, the CO2 conversion rate and the selectivity for gasoline hydrocarbons remain stable. The product composition consists mainly of C5-C11 isoparaffins and aromatics, meeting the current National V gasoline standards. Multiple **patents and international PCT patents have been applied for for this work, resulting in complete independent intellectual property rights.
