Adapt or Perish in Climate Change: Innovations in Carbon Capture and Utilization

  Innovations in Carbon Capture and Utilization Carbon capture and utilization Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technologies are critical for addressing climate change by capturing carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from industrial processes and repurposing them into valuable products or safely storing them. Innovations in CCU are reducing greenhouse gas emissions and creating new economic opportunities. This section explores advancements in carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology, highlighting their applications, challenges, and future potential in mitigating climate change. Advances in Carbon Capture Technologies Carbon capture technologies focus on capturing CO₂ from point sources like power plants and industrial facilities or directly from the atmosphere. Recent innovations have significantly improved efficiency and scalability. Post-combustion capture is a critical technology that focuses on capturing CO₂ emissions after burning fossil fuels. Recent advanc...
