A general overview of Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage Technology (original) (raw)

Recent trends toward carbon net zero and the growth of renewable energy as an alternative to fossil fuels have resulted in a huge environmental focus on decarbonisation projects with a big emphasis on carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). For both carbon utilisation and storage, waste CO2 from heavy industries is captured and injected into geological reserves to prevent CO2 emissions. Captured CO2 can be utilized to make synthetic fuels or in the food and beverage industry. Several CO2 capture processes exist, including adsorption, absorption, membrane gas separation, gas hydrate formation, and mineralization. These technologies will be reviewed and a pespective on how they are used for carbon utilisation and storage will be further discussed.
