The economics of CO₂ utilization are discussed from a critical perspective, with a concise analysis of the state-of-the-art of economics in power-to-X (methanol, methane). The main elements of the analysis of the economics are commented to provide guidelines on how to interpret the techno-economic results in the area of CO₂ utilization. It remarks the need of a careful analysis of the specific context, and of the limits of the evaluation, in order to go beyond the just use of the results without a proper analysis of how the data support the conclusions, their limits and applicability. Case examples discussed in a more detail regard the CO₂ to methanol or methane conversion, from the perspective of highlighting possible issues or limits rather than to indicate which results are more valuable, which is out of the scope of this contribution.

从批评的角度讨论了CO ₂利用的经济学，并简要分析了X转化为动力（甲醇，甲烷）的最新经济状况。评论了经济学分析的主要内容，为如何解释CO ₂利用领域的技术经济结果提供了指导。它指出需要仔细分析具体情况和评估的局限性，以超出对结果的公正使用，而没有适当分析数据如何支持结论，局限性和适用性。关于CO ₂的更详细讨论的案例 从强调可能存在的问题或限制而不是指出哪些结果更有价值的角度出发，将其转化为甲醇或甲烷，这不在本贡献的范围之内。
