Due to carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, driven by our reliance on fossil fuels and deforestation, the challenge of global warming looms ever larger. The need keep temperature rise below 1.5 °C has never been more pressing, pushing us toward innovative solutions. Enter capture, utilization, storage (CCUS) technologies, frontline defense in fight against climate change. Imagine a world where CO2, once harbinger environmental doom, is transformed into tool for healing. This review takes you journey through realm CCUS, revealing how these technologies capture CO2 from very sources industrial power activities, repurpose it, lock it away geological vaults. We explore various methods capture—post-combustion, oxy-fuel combustion, membrane separation—each with their own strengths challenges. But not just about science; economics play crucial role. costs capturing, transporting, storing are substantial, but they come promise burgeoning market CO2-derived products. delve financial aspects look at captured can be repurposed enhanced oil recovery, chemical manufacturing, mineralization, turning waste worth. also examine landscape commercial-scale CCS projects, highlighting both strides regional nuances implementation. As we navigate advancements, spotlight potential Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolutionize CCUS processes, making them efficient cost-effective. In this sweeping review, underscore pivotal role strategy decarbonize forge path sustainable future. Join as uncover innovation, supportive policies, public acceptance paving way cleaner, greener world.
