Abstract

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is vital to climate change mitigation, and has application across the economy, in addition to facilitating atmospheric carbon dioxide removal resulting in emissions offsets and net negative emissions. This contribution reviews the state-of-the-art and identifies key challenges which must be overcome in order to pave the way for its large-scale deployment.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • At present, most mature CO2 removal technique for postcombustion streams is chemical absorption with aqueous amines.

    “At the present time, and similarly to the case of natural gas processing, the most mature CO2 removal technique for postcombustion streams is chemical absorption with aqueous amines.5,527−529”
  • Promising technologies for CCS from postcombustion streams include chemical looping, adsorption, and membrane processes, but these need to be improved to allow wider deployment.

    “Apart from the already mature aqueous amine absorption technology for CCS, promising technologies for CCS from postcombustion streams include chemical looping, adsorption, and membrane processes, but these need to be improved in order to allow for wider deployment of CCS processes.472,527,528,542”
  • A total of 19 large-scale CCS facilities were in operation in 2019, out of which 10 in natural gas upgrading, 3 in hydrogen production, 2 in fertilizer production, and 2 in power generation.

    “A total of 19 large-scale CCS facilities were in operation in 2019, out of which 10 have been implemented in natural gas upgrading, 3 in hydrogen production (precombustion), 2 in fertilizer production, and 2 in power generation (postcombustion).”
  • Carbon capture by adsorption may be carried out by pressure-vacuum swing adsorption or temperature swing adsorption techniques.

    “Carbon capture by adsorption may be carried out by pressure-vacuum swing adsorption or temperature swing adsorption techniques.527,543”
  • Most CCS operating facilities have been implemented in industries where CO2 removal needs to be performed anyway.

    “It is noteworthy that most CCS operating facilities have been implemented in industries where CO2 removal needs to be performed anyway.5,527”

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.
