Approaches and Difficulties in Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions using the Chemistry of Carbon Capture

Abstract

Because carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are a major contributor to climate change and global warming, carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology is crucial for mitigating these impacts. chemical components of CO2 removal from air and industrial pollutants, with a focus on the many techniques used for this purpose. These techniques, which include oxy-fuel combustion procedures, post-combustion, and pre-combustion, use chemical solvents, adsorbents, and membranes to withdraw CO2. potential novel approaches to the large-scale removal of CO2, such as direct air capture (DAC) and biological technology. Despite technological advancements, other challenges, such as energy demands, cost, scalability, and long-term storage stability, continue to impede the widespread adoption of CCS. Social and environmental acceptability, regulatory and legislative frameworks, and other related subjects are also covered. The potential of carbon capture as a significant strategy in the global battle against climate change and the reduction of CO2 emissions can be better understood by examining these approaches and barriers.
