Cover Story: Methane and methanol are promising products for carbon capture and utilization concepts through CO2 hydrogenation. In the search for effective, robust, easy-to-manufacture and stable catalysts, supported metal-based catalysts have been proven to be advantageous. Whilst nickel for methane synthesis and copper for methanol synthesis stand out as efficient and cost-effective catalytically active metals, the best choice of a support material is still a matter of ongoing debate. This review discusses the potential of the alkaline earth metal oxide MgO as a support material for CO2 hydrogenation catalysts. Due to its basicity, it gives access to bifunctional catalysts by showing a pronounced CO2 adsorption capacity. Whilst carbonate formation seems to be beneficial in CO2 methanation, it may have an adverse effect during methanol synthesis from CO2View this paper
