Types of CO2 emission reduction technologies and future development trends

Abstract

Global climate change is causing icebergs to melt, sea levels to rise, some islands to disappear, El Nino is rampant, and extreme weather occurs frequently. It profoundly affects the progress of human civilization and threatens everyone’s living environment. It is the common task of all mankind to vigorously promote CO2 reduction and deal with global warming. Among various carbon emission reduction measures and policies, CO2 emission reduction technology has made rapid progress and has distinctive features in practical application. The potential economic benefits of further carbon abatement research are huge, as high value-added products can be obtained from cheap CO2 sources, resulting in significant economic benefits. In addition, as a “renewable” carbon and oxygen resource, integrating CO2 into the basic raw material of the production process is an important sustainable development strategy, so the environmental benefits of further strengthening CO2 emission reduction cannot be ignored. From the perspective of the CO2 emission cycle, this paper introduces the widely used CO2 emission reduction technology and expounds on the trend of CO2 emission reduction in the future.
