Recent advances in carbon dioxide utilization

Abstract

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the major contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the main driver of climate change. Currently, CO2 utilization is increasingly attracting interest in processes like enhanced oil recovery and coal bed methane and it has the potential to be

Economic Evaluation of Carbon Capture and Utilization Applying the Technology of Mineral Carbonation at Coal-Fired Power Plant

“…Mineral carbonation process can effectively utilize the industrial CO 2 emissions to form various products and carbonate precipitates, as it is a thermodynamically favorable reaction. The mineral carbonation using alkaline solid wastes has merits of low feedstock cost and availability near the source of CO 2 [27]. The utilization process for this study, CCU of mineral carbonation technology, produces construction ingredients from converting the CO 2 -captured compounds to CaCO 3 through the direct reaction of CO 2 in the flue gas at the coal-fired power plant.…”

“…On the other hand, the economic evaluation of CCU focused on sales profit from selling CO 2 compounds produced from applying CCU technology or on the life cycle assessment (LCA) [27]. One analyzed a manufacturing technology of high-valued compounds, sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO 3 ), through carbon dioxide carbonization, and the result of the internal rate of return for 20 years was 67.2% [28].…”

Eggshell and Seashells Biomaterials Sorbent for Carbon Dioxide Capture

“…Based on World Bank data, the shift into low-carbon energy such as renewable energy in logistics operations prove to minimise carbon emission and other greenhouse gases, create sustainable environment as well as improve economic performance [5,6]. In 2018, the global CO 2 emissions increased to 37.1 Gt which is forecasted to rise by about 10% in 2040, majorly due to the combustion of fossil fuels from industrial processes and transportation sector [7]. Hence, the impact of carbon emissions from logistics operations on the environment, global warming, climate change and health can be reduced remarkably by adopting renewable energy and green vehicles [6].…”

“…Hence, CCUS technologies will enable the use of fossil fuels in a cleaner way when integrated with power plants to mitigate global warming and climate change effects. CO 2 has found utilisation in the following areas mineralisation, biological utilisation, food and beverages, energy storage media, chemicals, enhanced oil recovery, coal bed methane and hydraulic fracturing processes [7]. However, public awareness and acceptance of CCUS is still low in spite of the attention shown by the scientific communities, industries and governments.…”

The enhanced enzymatic performance of carbonic anhydrase on the reaction rate between CO2 and aqueous solutions of sterically hindered amines

“…Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is one of the major greenhouse gases, and CO 2 emission into the atmosphere is a global concern due to its direct relation to global warming 1 . According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), to limit the rise in temperature to within 2°C by 2050, efforts are needed to minimize emissions and prevent climate change 2–4 . Therefore, research into CO 2 capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) has recently gained increasing importance as CO 2 emissions continue to increase 5–8 .…”
