The Current Situation and Future Development Trends of CCUS
In the context of rising global CO content, Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) has come into people's attention because it can effectively reduce atmospheric CO content. CCUS is mainly divided into three steps: capture, utilization and storage. Researchers have developed corresponding technologies that can improve efficiency and reduce losses in each link, and mature demonstration projects have emerged. However, the current development of CCUS still faces many difficulties, such as the technology is not mature enough, the integration level is low, the investment cost is high, the relevant talent shortage, and the business model is not yet formed and unclear. However, researchers have proposed some feasible solutions. This paper focuses on the CCUS process, outstanding related technologies, and lists some demonstration projects. In addition, it also summarizes the problems and solutions facing the current development of CCUS. Finally, the future of CCUS is prospected.
