CO<sub>2</sub> is a promising renewable, cheap, and abundant C1 feedstock for producing valuable chemicals, such as CO and methanol. In conventional reactors, because of thermodynamic constraints, converting CO<sub>2</sub> to methanol requires high temperature and pressure, typically 250 °C and 20 bar. Nonthermal plasma is a better option, as it can convert CO<sub>2</sub> at near-ambient temperature and pressure. Adding a catalyst to such plasma setups can enhance conversion and selectivity.
