Comparative Assessment of Carbon Capture Technologies: A Review
Keywords:
energy, gas, renewable energy, scalabilityAbstract
The use of non-renewable energy sources, such as oil and gas, is increasing every day. The use of various energy sources results in a significant carbon dioxide emission. This greenhouse gas’s release into the atmosphere hastens the irreversible effects of global warming. Although Carbon capture and geological storage (CCS) is one of the most promising technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change, significant challenges remain in identifying the most effective, scalable and economically viable solutions for large-scale implementation. This research assesses the efficiency and developments of carbon capture technologies in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, with an emphasis on how broadly applicable they are to various industrial sectors. Although lowering CO2 emissions is essential to halting climate change, the efficiency, affordability, and scalability of current carbon capture technologies vary widely. Effective techniques for capturing and storing carbon emissions are of paramount importance, considering the steadily increasing amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere due to the burning of fossil fuels by gas plants and other industrial and man-made products. The study assesses the scalability and effectiveness of various carbon capture technologies by figuring out each one’s economic feasibility and environmental effects, as well as which carbon capture method is most appropriate for specific industries and applications.
