Post‐combustion capture and other Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) technologies: A review

Abstract

Abstract Technologies for capturing and storing carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and strategies for sequestering carbon dioxide have received a lot of interest in recent years as potential remedies for the curtailment of the growing concerns of emissions of greenhouse gases and global warming. This article provides a comprehensive analysis on the trends in research and development in the area of CO 2 carbon capture and sequestration at the moment. The review explores various technological approaches for capturing CO 2 from industrial emissions, such as post‐combustion capture systems, pre‐combustion capture systems, and oxy‐fuel combustion system. It also gives a major insight into the post‐combustion capture of carbon by means of a summary, information obtained via a personal interview with a Combustion Based Unit (CBU) plant manager. Additionally, different methods for storing and sequestering the aforementioned gas, including geological and oceanic archiving, and mineralization, are examined. By synthesizing the findings from a wide range of studies and research papers, this literature review provides valuable insights into the current technologies for CO 2 capture, storage, and sequestration, contributing to the ongoing efforts in addressing climate change and achieving sustainable development goals.
