Carbon Capture – a Brief Review
The relentless emission of greenhouse gases since industrialization has led to a significant rise in global warming. The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has increased, resulting in a temperature rise of about 1°C. The urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is highlighted, with specific targets and scenarios provided. The top emitting countries and…

Direct Air Capture of Carbon Dioxide using Phase Change Solvents
Approximately 10% of CO2 emissions are from distributed sources, requiring direct air capture. CSIR-IICT is developing a cost-effective and energy-efficient technology using phase change solvents. Major DAC plants are being established globally to mitigate climate change. DAC is energy-intensive but technological advancements and economies of scale are expected to reduce costs. CSIR-IICT’s strategy is focused…
