Abstract: Rapid industrialization and sudden growth of population around the globe from the 18th century onwards ultimately led to the uncontrolled growth of manufacturing and energy producing industries. To make processes economical industries side lined the environment which began showing its effects from the past 50 years. Ever since Global Warming (commonly attributed to the unhealthy quantities of greenhouse gasses) starting to take up the centre stage, environmentalist and chemical engineers around the globe felt the need to reinvent our industrial processes to balance economy with environmental health. Through the medium of this report we intend to highlight yet another essential need of the hour that not only has the potential to reverse the damage of high carbon release by industries but also maintain economics of plant operation. Although Carbon capture is already a subject that is in study by scientists and engineers around the globe we intend to contribute and understand its plausibility using technology and simulation as a tool to facilitate better understanding of Co2 extraction from flue gasses

Over the past years, new options for addressing global warming and atmospheric CO2-concentrations ‐ such as bioenergy carbon capture and storage ‐ have been included in computer models that estimate how much more can be emitted before the global mean temperature increase surpasses 1.5°C. While the public in general remains mainly unaware of these, similar proposals in the past have triggered public protests. The prospect of public opposition therefore calls into question the use of these options in the models.Even if societies decarbonized rapidly, it is unlikely that they will achieve the 1.5°C target without also resorting to CO2 removal, by means, for example, of bioenergy carbon capture and storage (BECCS). Such methods were included in the special report Global Warming of 1.5°C published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 2018. This report also discusses solar radiation management, such as stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) which might be used to change global temperatures. However, public debate about the acceptability of these methods remains absent. We look at laypersons’ perceptions of BECCS and SAI at three stylized stages of increasing knowledge and deliberation. We found a high level of uncertainty among survey respondents as to whether to accept the use of these methods, which decreases when additional information is supplied by stakeholders. When comparing survey participants to members of a citizens’ jury, we found lower levels of acceptance for SAI and similar levels for BECCS among jury members who had deliberated the methods intensively. Despite fears of distracting from the aim of reducing emissions, decision-makers should publicly discuss these methods to avoid planning based on incorrect assumptions about the political feasibility of CO2 removal. People want to be informed about both approaches and the threat of SAI makes them focus their attention on mitigation.
