Abstract

In today's world, environmental concerns have gained significant attention. The increasing effects of climate change have heightened the necessity for new strategies to reduce carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, which are the primary driver of global warming. Carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) is one of the promising solutions that are being considered to address these environmental concerns. The primary objective of this review paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current status of carbon capture utilization and storage technologies, as well as the CO₂ transportation infrastructure, highlighting their potential advantages and the challenges that need to be addressed for successful implementation. This part provides a comprehensive overview of carbon capture technologies, including pre-combustion, post-combustion, oxy-fuel combustion, and direct air capture. The overview additionally discusses the current state of these technologies, their advantages, and limitations, as well as potential future developments. In addition, various CO₂ separation methods regarding these technologies are introduced and discussed. Finally, this paper can be used as a resource for researchers looking to explore carbon capture systems further to minimize CO₂ emissions.
