The increasing concentration of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere due to industrial emissions is one of the primary drivers of climate change. Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technologies have emerged as viable solutions for mitigating CO₂ emissions from industrial sources. This paper explores the engineering solutions for carbon capture, including pre-combustion, post-combustion, and oxy-fuel combustion techniques, alongside advancements in CO₂ transportation and storage. Various sequestration methods, such as geological, mineral, and ocean sequestration, are discussed, highlighting the technical challenges, costs, and environmental impacts. A review of current research, pilot projects, and case studies illustrates the practical applications of CCS in industries such as power generation, cement, and steel manufacturing. The paper also examines the role of novel materials, such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and amine-based sorbents, in improving capture efficiency. By addressing the current challenges and opportunities, this study contributes to the body of knowledge needed to scale up CCS deployment in industrial sectors, which is essential for achieving global emission reduction targets.
