Popis: Highlights – Glycerol was dry-reformed to syngas and sequentially utilized for ethanol synthesis – Adding CO2 to the glycerol dry reforming reactor was advantageous for ethanol synthesis – Maximum yield was 1 mole ethanol per mole glycerol at CO2/glycerol ratio≥2 – ethanol synthesis from syngas was dependent on the temperature and CO2/glycerol ratio – Wasted glycerol from biodiesel-manufacturing is suitable for syngas/ethanol production
