Hybrid catalysis, based on the integrated use of robust chemo- and selective bio-catalysts, is a recent but fast-growing discipline. Typical benefits of hybrid catalysis are: atom-saving, reduction of energy-demand, reduction in the number of steps, and waste-reduction at the source. It can be applied not only to the conversion of CO2 and biomass, but also to the efficient recycling of expensive co-substrates that therefore promotes the use of enzymes at the industrial level. In this chapter, we discuss some specific applications and highlight the advantages of applying hybrid-catalysis to both waste-biomass valorization and carbon recycling through CO2 conversion into chemicals or fuels for stepping towards the circular carbon economy (CCE). Hybrid-catalysis has a key role in both avoiding fossil-C and in maximizing the use of renewable carbon.

Abstract
Hybrid catalysis, based on the integrated use of robust chemo- and selective bio-catalysts, is a recent but fast-growing discipline. Typical benefits of hybrid catalysis are: atom-saving, reduction of energy-demand, reduction in the number of steps, and waste-reduction at the source. It can be applied not only to the conversion of CO2 and biomass, but also to the efficient recycling of expensive co-substrates that therefore promotes the use of enzymes at the industrial level. In this chapter, we discuss some specific applications and highlight the advantages of applying hybrid-catalysis to both waste-biomass valorization and carbon recycling through CO2 conversion into chemicals or fuels for stepping towards the circular carbon economy (CCE). Hybrid-catalysis has a key role in both avoiding fossil-C and in maximizing the use of renewable carbon.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
