Abstract

As global climate change becomes more and more severe, carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology is widely regarded as one of the key pathways to achieve carbon neutrality. However, despite the theoretical potential of CCS technology to reduce emissions, its widespread deployment progresses slower than expected. This review deeply discusses the current situation, challenges, and future development countermeasures of each link of the CCS technology chain. The analysis indicates that there is a significant gap in the maturity of each link in the CCS technology chain. For example, the carbon capture technology is relatively advanced, while the verification of the storage link is relatively lagging, which seriously restricts the widespread deployment of CCS technology. To solve the above problems, this review proposes to establish a CCS deployment framework guided by the technology-scenario matching decision model. At the same time, a phased implementation path is proposed: in the near term (2025-2035), cluster-based deployment reduces unit costs, and in the long term, the synergy of the technology chain will be optimized with the help of artificial intelligence. In addition, the paper highlights the importance of strengthening technology research and development, policy support, and increasing public participation.
