Carbon-free hydrogen and bioenergy production through integrated carbon capture and storage technology for achieving sustainable and circular economy– A review

Bio-based polycarbonates: progress and prospects

“…The utilization of carbon sourced from fossils is a contributing factor to anthropogenic global warming. 1,2 It has been projected that by the mid-21st century, the proportion of polymer production in worldwide fossil fuel consumption will increase to one-h. 3 Nowadays, there is a pressing need for a transition from a fossil fuel-based economy to an ideal circular materials economy, such as through the use of sustainable materials sourced from plants and other non-fossil biogenic feedstocks.…”

Advancing “Carbon Peak” and “Carbon Neutrality” in China: A Comprehensive Review of Current Global Research on Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Technology and Its Implications

“…Energy conservation and emission reduction have become the keys to addressing this problem. − The progression of industrialization has ushered in a consequential surge in atmospheric CO 2 concentrations, potentially soaring to 570 ppm by 2100. This impending surge stands poised to trigger a cascading effect, propelling global temperatures to ascend by 1.9 °C, while simultaneously instigating a substantial sea-level surge, reaching a towering elevation of 3.8 m. , Compounding the severity of this predicament, the World Health Organization (WHO) has underscored air pollution and climate change as the preeminent perils to public well-being. − Forecasts forewarn that the time frame spanning 2030–2050 could bear witness to an alarming escalation in mortality rates, attributed to the amplified prevalence of sweltering temperatures, exacerbating malnutrition and precipitating a distressing upswing in premature fatalities stemming from afflictions such as stroke, cancer, pulmonary disorders, and cardiovascular malaise. − …”
