Carbon Capture Materials and Technologies: A Review

Abstract

The United States emitted 5.27 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in 2018, less than one-sixth of the global emissions that year. The immense amount of greenhouse gases in the air have a detrimental effect on the planet. Rising global temperatures, rising sea levels, drought, wildfires, and other natural disasters are all being accelerated because of carbon emissions. Carbon capture is one solution that could reduce emissions tremendously. The topics of energy consumption, transportation phenomena, and thermodynamics of a wide range of carbon capture methods will be discussed.
