Energy is a key attribute that is used to evaluate the economic development of any country. The demand for energy is going to rise in developing countries and will be 67% of global use by 2040. The energy surge in these rising economies will be responsible for 60–70% of the global greenhouse gas emissions. The quest for higher energy motivates technological development to curb the climate change occurring with GHG emissions. Carbon dioxide is one of the primary greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Current work is intended to give an updated review on the different routes of carbon dioxide utilization that are catalytic route, photocatalytic route, electrocatalytic route, microwave plasma route, and biocatalytic route. These routes are capable of converting CO₂ into different valuable products such as formic acid, methanol, and di-methyl ether (DME), which are majorly derived from biomass and/or fossil fuels (coal gasification and/or natural gas). This work investigates the effect of different routes available for the production of value-added products by CO₂ reduction, discusses various challenges that come across the aforementioned routes, and shares views on future scope and research direction to pave new innovative ways of reducing CO₂ from the environment.
