Coal‐Based Carbon Nanomaterials: En Route to Clean Coal Conversion toward Net Zero CO2
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract As the world is committed to reach carbon peak by 2030 and net zero by 2050, the use of coal as an energy source is facing unprecedented challenges. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global annual coal demand is estimated to drop from more than 5640 million tonnes of coal equivalent (Mtce) in 2021 to 540 Mtce in 2050 under the net zero emission scenario, mostly being replaced by renewable energy such as solar and wind. Therefore, the coal industry is vigorously seeking alternative applications to keep it thriving, and nanotechnology can be one of the contributors. Herein, the challenges to coal‐based carbon nanomaterials syntheses are outlined, along with a path toward commercialization. Coal‐based carbon nanomaterials can be promising contributors to the concept of clean coal conversion, initiating its migration from an energy source to a high‐value‐added carbon source.
