Development of carbon capture and storage technologies in natural gas facilities for clean energy production
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies represent a critical strategic intervention in addressing global climate change challenges while maintaining energy security in natural gas infrastructure. This comprehensive review explores the multifaceted landscape of CCS technologies, examining technological innovations, economic frameworks, and environmental implications for clean energy production. By synthesizing current research and emerging approaches, the study provides a holistic assessment of CCS potential in mitigating carbon emissions from natural gas facilities. The review critically analyzes existing capture technologies, including post-combustion, pre-combustion, and oxy-fuel combustion methods, highlighting recent advances in material sciences and technological innovations. Economic considerations are examined through the lens of investment strategies, policy frameworks, and long-term viability. Environmental performance evaluation encompasses comprehensive emissions assessment, geological storage risks, and broader ecosystem implications. Key findings underscore the complexity of CCS implementation, revealing both significant challenges and promising opportunities for transforming natural gas infrastructure. The study emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary approaches, robust policy support, and continued technological innovation to realize the full potential of carbon capture technologies in achieving sustainable energy transitions.
