This study presents a comprehensive analysis of advanced carbon capture technologies as key enablers of industrial decarbonization in achieving global net-zero goals. It explores the integration of pre-combustion, post-combustion, and oxy-fuel pathways—each employing distinct sub-methods such as chemical looping, gas–liquid absorption, adsorption, membrane separation, cryogenic distillation, and calcium looping—to capture CO? emissions from hard-to-abate sectors, including cement, steel, power, and refining.
This study covers the following:
• A comparative analysis of the core-carbon capture pathways by evaluating relevant technical and process parameters such as energy requirement, capture efficiency, system modularity, industrial integration, cost drivers, scalability, and retrofit potential across hard-to-abate sectors.
• An in-depth examination of the innovation ecosystem, profiling major technology providers, commercial project developers, policymakers, and collaborative industry partnerships, alongside the latest academic advancements, evolving patent landscape, and funding initiatives that are collectively driving the commercialization and industrial adoption of carbon capture and storage technologies worldwide.
