Abstract

This short paper suggests a review of the latest developments and current challenges associated with carbon dioxide capture, utilization and storage. Recent research has been conducted to reduce energy consumption, costs and improve efficiency. In carbon dioxide capture catalysts have been added to solvents while new membrane and sorbent materials have been investigated. In mineral carbon dioxide storage, studies have been carried out to improve reaction rates. Regarding the utilization path, attention has been focused on the development of sustainable chemical (mainly based on electrochemical conversion), biochemical routes and power generation. Considering the respective challenges, future effort should be focused toward the optimization of these systems at all levels, public acceptance and new policies and regulations for their spread.
