Current milestone and emerging trend of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology: bibliometric analysis and review of risk-hazard, economic, and numerical assessments

Background: Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is emerging as a potential solution to reduce CO2 emissions. This technology captures CO2 for reuse or stores it safely underground, preventing pollution of the atmosphere. CCS is the best technology to control climate change and global warming. Purpose: This review aims to map the achievements that have been made and future research trends. Methods: This bibliometric review analyzes CCS-related research from 2010 to 2024 using the Scopus database. VOSviewer and Bibliometrix software are used for data processing and visualization. Findings: Significant advances have been made in CCS technology research. The growth of the number of publications, collaboration networks, the most influential contributors, and research trends has been mapped, which can be used as a reference for future research. Conclusions: The methodology used can still be refined to eliminate the potential bias in data interpretation. However, certain conclusions can be drawn from this bibliometric analysis. The research trend began to shift toward efforts to utilize CO2 in useful products, improve safety, and reduce implementation costs. Originality: This bibliometric review provides an in-depth examination of the scientific literature on CCS, with a particular emphasis on risk assessment, economic perspectives, and numerical modeling. In contrast to previous bibliometric research, it stands out by integrating these three central themes while also highlighting the limitations and gaps in existing knowledge.
