Abstract
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Working Group I warns in its sixth Assessment Report delivered in August 2021 that global warming will reach 1.5°C in a couple of decades even in a best-case scenario of deep cuts of greenhouse gas emissions. However, it states that climate change stabilization is still in human hands should “immediate, rapid, and large-scale reductions” in emissions take place. And it is clear that carbon capture and storage is a crucial mitigation measure to meet net zero emission targets and act as a deterrent against this universal environmental crisis notably following IPCC’s special report on climate change.
Carbon capture is also currently attracting attention due to the potential that CO2 has as a: - Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) instrument: where CO2 injection into an oil well reduces the density of the oil and increases the well productivity - One-carbon (C1) building block in organic synthesis; where CO2 is recyclable, creating thus a circular carbon economy
