Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering (Dec 2023)
An Anatomized study on the progress and prospects of CO2 utilization technology
Abstract
Significant CO2 concentration increases are predicted to contribute greatly to long-term global warming and related climatic instability, resulting in unforeseeable natural disasters, glacier melting, and extreme weather patterns. These difficulties may be solved by successfully collecting CO2 in order to achieve a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable balance between CO2 emissions and utilization. Due to the absence of a current evaluation of state-of-the-art advances in projected carbon utilization methods, it is vital to present an accurate and timely explanation that demonstrates a thorough comprehension of such sophisticated techniques. Given the critical role of carbon consumption in carbon management, it is necessary to analyse the overall picture. To overcome this gap, our study will investigate the benefits of CO2 recycling in a number of industrial processes, including enhanced oil recovery (EOR), fuel and chemical conversion, mineralization, and biological conversion. The objective of this study is to integrate current research in carbon management through analysis of its application in areas and methodologies such as increased petroleum recovery, CO2 conversion to value-added fuels and chemicals, mineralization and biological conversion to value-added products.
