Abstract

The Carbon Cyclic Economy is at the heart of the Circular Economy that will characterize the future of our Society. Cycling Carbon will mimic Nature that has developed the Carbon Cycle over million years and uses such tool for stabilizing the atmospheric content of CO₂, the most easy-to-reach and abundant form of carbon. A Man-Made Carbon Cycle will complement the natural one and will contribute to mitigate climate change. The use of sources of carbon as an alternative to fossil-carbon (waste biomass, waste plastics and CO₂) is the way to cycle GtC/y, using perennial energy sources (Solar, Wind, Hydro, Geo-Power, SWHG). The role of hybrid catalysis has a fundamental importance for the deployment of such renewable sources of carbon.
