“…Among large-scale CCS facilities in the world with a capacity of at least 400,000 t/y, nineteen of them were operating in 2019 [26]. In Table 2, information on the CCS projects based on the Global CCS Institute (GCCSI) database [27] and additional surveys [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] is listed.…”

“…To develop next-generation CO 2 capture technology, membrane separation is a promising strategy with numerous advantages: low capital investment, small footprint, ease of scaling up, low energy requirement, simple operation, and low environmental impact [78][79][80][81]. As mentioned previously, a polymeric membrane system was installed in a large-scale CCS facility in 2013 [27,30,32]. In addition, several projects using amine-based polymeric membrane systems for CO 2 separation are in the pilot phase [82][83][84].…”

Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) technology is an effective CO 2 fixation technology, as documented by the special report produced by Working Group III of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Today, this technology has become important due to the threat of global warming and climate change. Furthermore, the development of carbon dioxide capture and utilization (CCU) technology, which reuses the captured CO 2 , has been prioritized in recent years to accelerate the deployment of "CCUS." For both utilization and storage, CO 2 capture is a key process that determines how efficiently decarbonation is able to meet the global target. Regardless of the maturity of various types of CO 2 capture technologies, amines are the most widely used chemical species. This paper contains a brief overview of CCUS followed by a discussion of several aspects of amine-based CO 2 capture technologies.

The Paris Agreement established global ambitious targets for reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, requiring the rapid and extensive development of low carbon technologies, and one of the most efficient is CO2 geological storage. Among the deep geological formations used for CO2 storage, the shale layers have been a new emerging topic showing to be efficient because they are abundant and have a high content of organic matter, being favorable for CO2 retention. However, one of the challenges in evaluating a location for possible reservoirs is the adequate geological characterization and storage volume estimates. This research evaluated the Irati Formation of the Paraná Basin, through the information from hydrocarbon exploration wells in Southeastern Brazil, where most stationary sources of carbon emissions are located. Three-dimensional (3D) implicit modeling techniques were applied not only for the volume calculation purpose, but also in the site selection stage, generating thematic 3D models of thickness, depth, structures, and distance to aquifer systems. The limestones, shales, and black shales of the Irati Formation were locally divided into six units according to geological composition and spatial continuity. The E black shale unit was considered for CO2 geological storage indicating a theoretical capacity of 1.85 Gt of CO2. The potential of the achieved capacity is promising not only for been greater than the total of CO2 locally produced but also for supporting the implantation of new projects in this region.

The Paris Agreement established global ambitious targets for reducing carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions, requiring the rapid and extensive development of low carbon technologies, and one of the most efficient is CO 2 geological storage. Among the deep geological formations used for CO 2 storage, the shale layers have been a new emerging field with higher efficiency because they are abundant and have a high content of organic matter that is favorable for CO 2 retention. However, one of the challenges in evaluating a location for potentials reservoirs is the adequate geological characterization and storage volume estimation. The study evaluates the Irati Formation of the Paraná Basin based on wireline logs information within Southeastern Brazil, where most stationary sources of carbon emissions are located. Three-dimensional (3D) implicit modeling techniques were applied not only for volume calculation purpose, but also in the site selection stage, generating thematic 3D models indicating thickness, depth, structures, and distance to aquifer systems. The limestones, shales, and black shales of the Irati Formation were locally grouped into six units considering the geological composition and spatial continuity. Based on the 3D model and reservoir parameters, the organic-rich shale Unit E with a theoretical capacity of 1.85 Gt is considerable for CO 2 storage. The estimated CO 2 storage capacity is promising because it is higher than the total CO 2 locally produced, and it could support the implantation of new projects in this region.
