Biorefineries of carbon dioxide: From carbon capture and storage (CCS) to bioenergies production.

چکیده
Greenhouse gas emissions have several adverse environmental effects, like pollution and climate change. Currently applied carbon capture and storage (CCS) methods are not cost effective and have not been proven safe for long term sequestration. Another attractive approach is CO2 valorization, whereby CO2 can be captured in the form of biomass via photosynthesis and is subsequently converted into various form of bioenergy. This article summarizes the current carbon sequestration and utilization technologies, while emphasizing the value of bioconversion of CO2. In particular, CO2 sequestration by terrestrial plants, microalgae and other microorganisms are discussed. Prospects and challenges for CO2 conversion are addressed. The aim of this review is to provide comprehensive knowledge and updated information on the current advances in biological CO2 sequestration and valorization, which are essential if this approach is to achieve environmental sustainability and economic feasibility.

CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE (CCS) IS A TECHnology being developed in an attempt to slow global warming. In theory, CCS would prevent carbon dioxide produced from coal-fired power plants from reaching the atmosphere by capturing and storing it permanently underground. The scale of this proposal is remarkable, requiring the capture of tens of billions of tons of carbon dioxide from thousands of co...

متن کاملCarbon dioxide capture and storage \(CCS\) – liability for non-permanence under the UNFCCC
Prior to CoP 10, our discussion paper “On the Integration of Carbon Capture and Storage into the International Climate Regime” argued that carbon capture and storage (CCS) was similar to carbon sequestration in the area of Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF). This was criticized by several readers who observed that treating CCS as a removal activity (sink) would not be compatible wi...
متن کاملSummary of the Ipcc Special Report on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage
Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is an option for reducing atmospheric emissions of CO2 from human activities. CCS involves the use of technology to first collect and concentrate the CO2 produced at industrial and energy-related sources, transport it to a suitable storage location, and then store it away from the atmosphere for a long period of time. The IPCC Special Report assesses the...
