A comprehensive review of carbon dioxide capture, transportation, utilization, and storage: a source of future energy
Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is a harmful gas generated every day by burning fossil fuels in industry, automobiles, firing smoke, and so on. Excessive carbon dioxide creates global warming and severe health issues for humans and animals. Hence, CO 2 generation and emissions must be minimized. Alternatively, finding ways to capture, store, and utilize carbon dioxide could solve this problem of global warming and health hazards. Hence, this review presents and proposes carbon dioxide capture, transportation, utilization, and storage (CCTUS) to generate energy for future development. This work shows CCTUS technology for mitigating CO 2 emissions. This review presents pre, post, and oxy-fuel combustion to capture and utilize carbon dioxide emissions to convert electrical energy, hydrogen, and water. The paper also presents less focused options (algae, biochar, nanotechnology, and so on) for capturing CO 2. This work also explores different transportation and storage options with their advantages and disadvantages. Additionally, the potential of CO 2 utilization for future fuels including methanol, dimethyl ether, formic acid, and biofuel has been shown. This review presents that CO 2 can be used in producing valuable products like chemicals, fuels, and biofuels, and this review emphasizes its role in creating economic incentives and enhancing the sustainability of CCTUS technologies. By integrating recent research findings and technological innovations, this paper provides a holistic view of CCTUS, underscoring its critical role in achieving long-term climate goals and industrial sustainability.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
