TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the current state-of-the-art of CO2 capture, transport, utilisation and storage from a multi-scale perspective, moving from the global to molecular scales.

TL;DR: Three of the leading options for large scale CO2 capture are reviewed from a technical perspective, including solvent-based chemisorption techniques, carbonate looping technology, and the so-called oxyfuel process.

TL;DR: In this article, a statistical associating fluid theory (SAFT-VR) was developed for chain molecules of hard-core segments with attractive potentials of variable range, and different contributions to the Helmholtz free energy were evaluated according to the Wertheim perturbation theory.

TL;DR: A key feature of the reformulated SAFT-VR approach is the greatly enhanced accuracy in the near-critical region for chain molecules, which allows for a much improved global representation of the thermodynamic properties and fluid-phase equilibria of pure fluids and their mixtures.

TL;DR: In this article, the SAFT-VR approach is extended to describe the thermodynamic properties of chain molecules formed from monomeric segments interacting with attractive potentials of variable range (VR) and a number of mixing rules are proposed, from the usual van der Waals one-fluid prescription to a complete description in terms of the pair distribution functions of pair interactions.
