An overview of CO2 capture and utilization in energy models

The recycling and utilization of CO2 is gaining interest in the fight against global warming. Considering not as a waste or pollutant but an opportunity concept that could prove promising for producing clean fuels future, well chemicals, plastics building materials. extent benefits Carbon Capture Utilization (CCU) still uncertain due to its many interactions with rest energy system, several models are trying explore this area. As climate issue becomes urgent policy priority, scientific community helping decision-makers choose optimal technologies successfully meet targets decarbonize society. This paper reviews represent CCU decarbonization solution effort understand identify knowledge modeling gaps. results first show poorly represented, when it is, rarely fully integrated. conversion into chemicals by far most modeled all options encompasses, while other key industry sector barely considered. We discuss current methods provide recommendations future modelers who want implement set their models. Additionally, we socioeconomic drivers barriers support discourage deployment mix.
