Insight into Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Technology

Abstract

This mini review offers insight into the applications and potential uses of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies including petrochemical uses. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology is used to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and is one of the paths to reducing anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. The discussion presented is exploratory and descriptive, rather than instructive in the use of CCS and identifies that there is an emerging need for training in current uses as well as the need for further research in development of efficient carbon capture solvents.
