Carbon dioxide (CO₂) capture and storage is a critical issue for mitigating climate change. Porous aromatic Schiff base complexes have emerged as a promising class of materials for CO₂ capture due to their high surface area, porosity, and stability. In this study, we investigate the potential of Schiff base complexes as an effective media for CO₂ storage. We review the synthesis and characterization of porous aromatic Schiff bases materials complexes and examine their CO₂ sorption properties. We find that Schiff base complexes exhibit high CO₂ adsorption capacity and selectivity, making them a promising candidate for use in carbon capture applications. Moreover, we investigate the effect of various parameters such as temperature, and pressure on the CO₂ adsorption properties of Schiff base complexes. The Schiff bases possessed tiny Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface areas (4.7-19.4 m²/g), typical pore diameters of 12.8-29.43 nm, and pore volumes ranging from 0.02-0.073 cm³/g. Overall, our results suggest that synthesized complexes have great potential as an effective media for CO₂ storage, which could significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to mitigating climate change. The study provides valuable insights into the design of novel materials for CO₂ capture and storage, which is a critical area of research for achieving a sustainable future.

Our research objectives are to determine under what conditions microalgal-based $CO_2$capture from flue gases is economically attractive. Specifically, our objective here was to select microalgae that are temperature, pH and flue gas tolerant. Microalgae were grown under five different temperatures, three different pH and five different flue gas mixtures besides 100% $CO_2$(gas concentrations that the cells were exposed to ranged 5.7-100% $CO_2$, 0-3504ppm SO$_2$, 0-328ppm NO, and 0-126ppm NO$_2$). Our results indicate that the microalgal strains tested exhibit a substantial ability to withstand a wide range of temperature (54 strains tested), pH (20 strains tested) and flue gas composition (24 strains tested) likely to be encountered in cultures used for carbon sequestration from smoke stack gases. Our results indicate that microalgal photosynthesis is a limited but viable strategy for $CO_2$capture from flue gases produced by stationary combustion sources.

In recent years, the usage of fossil fuels has caused problems of climate change and global warming. Because the combustion of fossil fuels is related to the production of greenhouse gases ($CO_2$, $CH_4$, etc.), new technology in the field of combustion is needed in order to handle the crisis of climate change and the global warming. As one of the efforts to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, the concept of regenerative oxy-fuel combustion for energy efficiency and carbon capture was suggested, In the current study, the development of an industrial regenerative oxy-fuel combustion furnace was introduced, which has been being performed at Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER).

Carbon Capture and Storage technologies are recognized as key solution to meet greenhouse gas emission standards to avoid climate change. Although MEA (monoethanolamine) is an effective amine solvent in $CO_2$ capture process, the application is limited by high energy consumption, i.e., reduction of 10% of efficiency of coal-fired power plants. Therefore the development of new solvent and improvement of $CO_2$ capture process are positively necessary. In this study, improvement of $CO_2$ capture process was investigated and applied to Test Bed for reducing energy consumption. Previously reported technologies were examined and prospective methods were determined by simulation. Among the prospective methods, four applicable methods were selected for applying to 0.1 MW Test Bed, such as change of packing material in absorption column, installing the Intercooling System to absorption column, installing Rich Amine Heater and remodeling of Amines Heat Exchanger. After the improvement construction of 0.1 MW Test Bed, the effects of each suggested method were evaluated by experimental results.

In this work, recent progress on graphene/metal oxide composites as advanced materials for $HgCl_2$ and $CO_2$ capture was investigated. Density Functional Theory calculations were used to understand the effects of temperature on the adsorption ability of $HgCl_2$ and water vapor on $CO_2$ adsorption on CaO (001) with reinforced carbon-based nanostructures using B3LYP functional. Understanding the mechanism by which mercury and $CO_2$ adsorb on graphene/CaO (g-CaO) is crucial to the design and fabrication of effective capture technologies. The results obtained from the optimized geometries and frequencies of the proposed cluster site structures predicted that with respect to molecular binding the system possesses unusually large $HgCl_2$ ($0.1-0.4HgCl_2g/g$ sorbent) and $CO_2$ ($0.2-0.6CO_2g/g$ sorbent) uptake capacities. The $HgCl_2$ and $CO_2$ were found to be stable on the surface as a result of the topology and a strong interaction with the g-CaO system; these results strongly suggest the potential of CaO-doped carbon materials for $HgCl_2$ and $CO_2$ capture applications, the functional gives reliable answers compared to available experimental data.

In order to examine the feasibility of Carbon Capture & Sequestration, a major technological strategy for the national goal of greenhouse gas reduction, this paper studies the various methods and corresponding costs for the transportation of $CO_2$ captured at the domestic thermal power plants, as well as performing comparative analysis with overseas CCS demonstration projects. It is predicted that the investment cost would be about 98 million USD when the using land-based pipelines to transport captured $CO_2$ from the thermal power plant located in the south coast. And using marine-based offshore pipelines, it will cost about twice the amount. When the captured $CO_2$ is transported from the power plant in the west coast instead, the cost is expected to increase substantially due to the transportation distance to the storage site being more than double to that of the south coast power plant case.

In this paper, performance of the gas turbine combined cycle(GTCC) using pre-combustion carbon capture technology was comparatively analysed. Steam reforming and autothermal reforming were used. In the latter, two different methods were adopted to supply oxygen for the reforming process. One is to extract air form gas turbine compressor (air blowing) and the other is to supply oxygen directly from air separation unit ($O_2$ blowing). To separate $CO_2$ from the reformed gas, the chemical absorption system using MEA solution was used. The net cycle efficiency of the system adopting $O_2$ blown autothermal reforming was higher than the other two systems. The system using air blown autothermal reforming exhibited the largest net cycle power output. In addition to the performance analysis, the influence of fuel reforming and carbon capture on the operating condition of the gas turbine and the necessity of turbine re-design were investigated.

CCS(Carbon Capture and Storage)는 제철, 철강, 발전소 등에서 발생되는 $CO_2$를 포집 및 저장하는 기술로서, 지구 온난화의 주범인 $CO_2$를 감축시키는 효과적인 기술이다. CCS 포집 기술과 저장 기술은 집중적인 개발을 도모하고 있으며, 현재 실증단계에 있다. 그러나 상용화 단계에 이르기 위해서는 포집, 저장 기술을 비롯하여 수송기술까지도 구성 요소에 대한 안전성 확보가 필요하다. 특히, 수송기술은 CCS 특성상 파이프라인을 이용한 수송기술이 적합하지만, $CO_2$ 파이프라인 운용 사례가 부족하여, 파이프라인 또는 구성 요소(밸브 등)에 대한 적합한 재질을 선택해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 $CO_2$ 파이프라인에 사용 가능한 고무재질을 알아보고자 여러 분야에서 사용되는 고무 재질을 $CO_2$에 침지하여 압력 온도 변화에 따른 부피변화를 비교 분석 하였다.

기후변화의 가장 큰 원인 중 하나로 지목되는 이산화탄소의 배출량을 절감하기 위해 제안된 Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) 전체공정의 에너지 및 비용저감이 시급한 현 시점에서 효율적인 연계공정의 도출이 중요하며 본 연구에서는 연소 후 습식아민 공정을 이용한 포집공정과 압축공정의 간의 연계를 통해 에너지를 저감할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 이는 기기적 증기 재압축 시스템 을 적용하여 압축기에 사용되는 전기에너지를 열에너지의 형태로 변환함으로써 포집공정에 필요한 리보일러의 에너지 사용량을 감소시키는 방법이다. 본 공정개선안은 압축기에 필요한 추가적인 투자비용 및 전기에너지를 고려하더라도 고압의 이산화탄소를 생산함과 동시에 전체적인 에너지 사용량을 절감시키는 장점이 있다. 또한 본 연구에서는 실제 Test Bed의 운전 결과를 통한 모델을 활용함으로써 보다 신뢰성 있는 절감 효과를 제안하고자 한다.
