Anthropogenic CO2 emissions has led to global climate change and widely contributed to global warming since its concentration has been increasing over time. It has attracted vast attention worldwide. Currently, the different CO2 capture technologies available include absorption, solid adsorption and membrane separation. Chemical absorption technology is regarded as the most mature technology and is commercially used in the industry. However, the key challenge is to find the most efficient solvent in capturing CO2. This paper reviews several types of CO2 capture technologies and the various factors influencing the CO2 absorption process, resulting in the development of a novel solvent for CO2 capture.
