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: The motivation to develop CO2-based chemistry does not depend primarily on the absolute amount of CO2 emissions that can be remediated by a single technology and is stimulated by the significance of the relative improvement in carbon balance and other critical factors defining the environmental impact of chemical production in all relevant sectors in accord with the principles of green chemistry.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a systematic environmental comparison of energy storage systems providing different products and determine the environmental impacts avoided by using 1 MW h of surplus electricity in the energy storage system instead of producing the same product in a conventional process.

TL;DR: This study shows that CCU has the technical potential to lead to a carbon-neutral chemical industry and decouple chemical production from fossil resources, reducing annual GHG emissions by up to 3.5 Gt CO2-eq in 2030.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a systematic framework for LCA of CO2 capture and utilization in which the utilized CO2 is correctly considered as regular feedstock with its own production emissions, and the CO2 storage duration is incorporated into a time-resolved global warming metric.
