Abstract

Abstract: In the recent decade, CO2 has increasingly been regarded not only as a greenhouse gas but even more as a chemical feedstock for carbon‐based materials. Different strategies have evolved to realize CO2 utilization and conversion into fuels and chemicals. In particular, biological approaches have drawn attention, as natural CO2 conversion serves as a model for many processes. Microorganisms and enzymes have been studied extensively for redox reactions involving CO2 . In this review, we focus on monitoring nonliving biocatalyzed reactions for the reduction of CO2 by using enzymes. We depict the opportunities but also challenges associated with utilizing such biocatalysts. Besides the application of enzymes with co‐factors, resembling natural processes, and co‐factor recovery, we also discuss implementation into photochemical and electrochemical techniques.
