Abstract

Carbon emissions worldwide is an issue of serious concern pertaining to its worrisome effects like global climate change, warming and ozone depletion. The natural and anthropogenic activities like forest fires, fossil fuel burning, respiration, decomposition of flora and fauna, geogenic activities and chemical changes in the rock beds, automotive and industrial exhausts, etc., all lead to an immense amount of CO2  being produced. CO2 is a greenhouse gas that traps solar heat and facilitates earth warming up to an extent of 66%. Hence, it is essentially required to reduce carbon emissions and sequester the carbon being produced effectively. Many upcoming and existing technologies are utilized for carbon-capturing such as carbon capture and storage (CCS), carbon sequestration utilizing rocks and hydrates, chemical looping separation, membrane technology, cryogenic carbon capture (CCC), absorption, and adsorption. Each one of these technologies are having its own merits and demerits and carbon capture potential. This review describes these technologies for carbon capture and reducing the carbon emission for the environmental safeguarding and combating the global warming and climate change effects.
