Research on Global Carbon Dioxide Utilization: Current Status and Future Prospects

The utilization of carbon dioxide CO
2
is a significant technology choice for carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, which aims to reduce carbon emissions while utilizing CO
2
as a resource. In recent years, CO
2
utilization has received widespread attention from academia and industry at home and abroad, but its development is still in its infancy. In this case, we provide an overview of the current state of technological development and challenges in CO
2
utilization. First, the advantages and main technical routes of CO
2
utilization are reviewed. Then, domestic and international advanced cases are analyzed. Finally, challenges in promoting CO
2
utilization are summarized and some suggestions are given accordingly. This review could shed some light on the goal of achieving carbon neutrality.
