Current challenges for CO2 capture and storage

Abstract

Large CO2 emissions coming from the combustion of fossil fuels are responsible for the global warming in the Earth. These environmental concerns are forcing the different governments to find solutions to reduce CO2 emissions and mitigate this adverse effect. One of the most promising solutions consists in the selective CO2 capture on industrial streams using porous adsorbents (zeolites, activated carbons and MOFs) combining a high adsorption capacity and a proper selectivity to CO2 versus other molecules from flue gas, together with a proper regeneration.
