SIMULTANEOUS CARBON CAPTURE AND COLD ENERGY STORAGE USING CLATHRATES

Abstract

Carbon dioxide emissions are the most significant contributor to global warming globally. In 2021, CO2 emissions from industrial operations and energy production increased to their greatest yearly level ever of 36.3 gigatonnes (Energy Agency, 2021). Recently the awareness and emphasis on carbon capture technologies are increasing as the cost of global warming on our planet and daily lives are becoming more and more apparent. India has, on cue, promised to cut its carbon dioxide emissions to net zero by 2070. Carbon dioxide capture methods involving amines, chemical absorption, and metal organic frameworks tend to be expensive and energy-intensive to operate (Dubey & Arora, 2022). Research groups all over the world are trying to establish an environmentally and economically viable pathway to carbon dioxide capture.
