CO2 Utilization and Transportation

Abstract

This research delves into the multifaceted realm of carbon dioxide (CO2) utilization and transportation, focusing on combatting the pressing global challenge of climate change. Through an extensive review of literature, this study offers a comprehensive overview of existing knowledge on CO2 utilization technologies and transportation methods, identifying critical gaps and establishing research objectives to address these voids. Various CO2 utilization technologies such as enhanced oil recovery (EOR), carbonation of minerals, and synthetic fuel production are examined, with case studies highlighting their applications, efficiency, and environmental impact. The economic viability and technical feasibility of these technologies are explored, considering their potential to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Simultaneously, the study evaluates CO2 transportation methods including pipelines, shipping, and trucking, analyzing safety considerations, infrastructure challenges, and environmental implications to optimize transportation logistics while minimizing environmental impact. Results drawn from quantitative data, case studies, and comparative analysis are presented, followed by a discussion interpreting these findings in the context of climate change mitigation and sustainable development. The research concludes with key findings, acknowledgment of limitations, and suggestions for future exploration, contributing to the essential knowledge base for effective strategies in combating climate change through innovative CO2 utilization and transportation practices.
