Abstract

Carbon capture and storage (CCS)/carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) systems are widely recognised to have the potential in reducing CO2 emissions. However, current their global deployment is still not sufficient to reach the anticipated net-zero CO2 emissions target by 2050. This article aims to provide a general techno-economic review of CCUS systems. The technology readiness, technical performance, energy requirement and cost associated with CO2 capture, separation, transport, utilisation and storage technologies were discussed and compared. The CO2 capture technological pathways include industrial separation, post-combustion, pre-combustion, oxy-fuel combustion, chemical looping combustion and direct air capture. CO2 separation technologies such as absorption, adsorption, membrane, cryogenic and biological were also covered. Then, a review on CO2 transportation by pipeline, ship, truck and rail was presented, followed by a review on CO2 utilisation pathways for direct usage and through conversion into other products. Lastly, different CO2 storage options were reviewed, which include storage through CO2-enhanced oil recovery, in depleted oil and gas fields, in saline formations, in basalt and ultramafic rocks, in coal seams through enhanced coal bed methane recovery and in the deep ocean. This article concluded that the challenges with current CCUS technologies can possibly be overcome by developing a commercially viable hybrid system comprising more than one technology. However, this approach needs to be further investigated for industrial applications.

  • Adsorption is one of the most promising strategies in CO2 capture for its superiorities of high efficiency, cost-effectiveness, stability, and easy operation.

    “Adsorption is one of the most promising strategies in CO 2 capture for its superiorities of high efficiency, cost-effectiveness, stability, and easy operation (Hong 2022).”

    From Lignin-impregnated biochar assisted with microwave irradiation for CO2 capture: adsorption performance and mechanism (2024) · cites this paper as Hong 2022

    Section 3.2.2 (Adsorption; page not provided) describes adsorption as widely used and reports high CO₂ removal efficiency, low energy requirements, and recyclable adsorbents. It describes low cost and stability for particular adsorbents, but does not establish those advantages for adsorption generally or say that adsorption is easy to operate. (LLM, conf=0.84)

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.
