Carbon capture, storage and utilisation technologies: A critical analysis and comparison of their life cycle environmental impacts

Short summary

A review of 27 life cycle assessment studies reveals that Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) can reduce global warming potential (GWP) by 63-82% but often increases other environmental impacts like acidification and human toxicity compared to no capture. While CCS generally has a lower GWP than Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) technologies, CCU can sometimes have lower impacts in other categories.
