Opportunities and Potential of CCUS Technology Advancement Under The New Energy and Carbon Neutrality Background

Abstract

Since the Industrial Revolution, human society has gone through a booming development. Accompanied by roaring machines and towering edifices during industrialization, the expanding ozone hole and rising global temperature all ring the alarm for humans. With the strong crisis awareness of protecting the environment, people weigh more importance on the exploitation and application of CCUS technology. This article aims to perform a comprehensive review of the promising technology. Besides, considering new energy, as a crucial part and developing direction of the energy structure, it also hopes to offer a new perspective of combining CCUS technology with new energy. Carbon capture, storage and utilization, the three critical parts together constitute the CCUS. They are conducive to reducing carbon emissions, responding to climate change and transforming environmentally inefficient industries. Though there are several technical and economic difficulties like demanding reaction conditions and high cost, some pertinent and feasible settlements have emerged, which find creative ways like connecting with new energy. According to some cases and future trends, a coupling of CCUS technology and new energy will offer more probability concerning energy conversion and storage. Based on the exposition of these two subjects, the article put forward this assumption.
