ABSTRACT

Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technologies are critical in mitigating climate change by capturing CO2 emissions and converting them into valuable products. This comprehensive overview explores recent advancements in CCU technologies, including various capture methods such as pre-combustion, post-combustion, and oxyfuel combustion. It delves into the utilization of captured carbon in enhanced oil recovery, building materials, and the production of fuels and chemicals. The book highlights technological innovations, economic considerations, and future research directions, emphasizing the potential of CCU to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create economic value.

Keywords: Carbon Capture, Carbon Utilization, Climate Change Mitigation, Pre-combustion Capture, Post-combustion Capture.
