The growing interest of the scientific community toward global warming and its consequences over environment has led to investigate new energy resources in order to decrease the dependence on fossil fuels. Combustion processes, mainly represented by power generation and industry sectors, account for more than 50% of CO 2emissions, increasing at a rate of 2.5 per year with a worldwide amount of 33.1 GtCO 2during 2018 [1]. Therefore, these processes are the main source of the total CO 2emitted to the atmosphere. As part of the greenhouse effect mitigation, efforts have been made toward decreasing these atmospheric CO 2emissions. The most considered actions are to capture the CO 2from point source emissions [2] and to use it as a feedstock to valuable chemicals and fuels [3].
