Abstract
CO2 emissions have been steadily increasing and have been a major contributor for climate change compelling nations to take decisive action fast. The average global temperature could reach 1.5 °C by 2035 which could cause a significant impact on the environment, if the emissions are left unchecked. Several strategies have been explored of which carbon capture is considered the most suitable for faster deployment. Among different carbon capture solutions, adsorption is considered both practical and sustainable for scale-up. But the development of adsorbents that can exhibit satisfactory performance is typically done through the experimental approach. This hit and trial method is costly and time consuming and often success is not guaranteed. Machine learning (ML) and other computational tools offer an alternate to this approach and is accessible to everyone. Often, the research towards materials focuses on maximizing its performance under simulated conditions. The aim of this study is to present a holistic view on progress in material research for carbon capture and the various tools available in this regard. Thus, in this review, we first present a context on the workflow for carbon capture material development before providing various machine learning and computational tools available to support researchers at each stage of the process. The most popular application of ML models is for predicting material performance and recommends that ML approaches can be utilized wherever possible so that experimentations can be focused on the later stages of the research and development.

Abstract
Heavy carbon industries produce solid side stream materials that contain inorganic chemicals like Ca, Na, or Mg, and other metals such as Fe or Al. These inorganic compounds usually react efficiently with CO2 to form stable carbonates. Therefore, using these side streams instead of virgin chemicals to capture CO2 is an appealing approach to reduce CO2 emissions. Herein, we performed an experimental study of the mineral carbonation potential of three industrial steel slags via aqueous, direct carbonation. To this end, we studied the absorption capacities, reaction yields, and physicochemical characteristics of the carbonated samples. The absorption capacities and the reaction yields were analyzed through experiments carried out in a reactor specifically designed to work without external stirring. As for the physicochemical characterization, we used solid-state Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Using this reactor, the absorption capacities were between 5.8 and 35.3 g/L and reaction yields were in the range of 81-211 kg CO2/ton of slag. The physicochemical characterization of the solid products with solid FTIR, XRD and SEM indicated the presence of CaCO3. This suggests that there is potential to use the carbonated products in commercial applications.

Abstract
Integrated CO2 capture and utilization (ICCU) technology requires dual functional materials (DFMs) to carry out the process in a single reaction system. The influence of the calcination atmosphere on efficiency of 4% Ru-8% Na2CO3-8% CaO/γ-Al2O3 DFM is studied. The adsorbent precursors are first co-impregnated onto alumina and calcined in air. Then, Ru precursor is impregnated and four aliquotes are subjected to different calcination protocols: static air in muffle or under different mixtures (10% H2/N2, 50% H2/N2 and N2) streams. Samples are characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, H2 chemisorption, TEM, XPS, H2-TPD, H2-TPR, CO2-TPD and TPSR. The catalytic behavior is evaluated, in cycles of CO2 adsorption and hydrogenation to CH4, and temporal evolution of reactants and products concentrations is analyzed. The calcination atmosphere influences the physicochemical properties and, ultimately, activity of DFMs. Characterization data and catalytic performance discover the acccomodation of Ru nanoparticles disposition and basic sites is mostly influencing the catalytic activity. DFM calcined under N2 flow (RuNaCa-N2) shows the highest CH4 production (449 µmol/g at 370°C), because a well-controlled decomposition of precursors which favors the better accomodation of adsorbent and Ru phases, maximizing the specific surface area, the Ru-basic sites interface and the participation of different basic sites in the CO2 methanation reaction. Thus, the calcination in a N2 flow is revealed as the optimal calcination protocol to achieve highly efficient DFM for integrated CO2 adsorption and hydrogenation applications.

Abstract
Carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) is a promising solution to decarbonize the energy and industrial sectors to mitigate climate change. An integrated assessment of technological options is required for the effective deployment of CCUS large-scale infrastructure between CO2 production and utilization/sequestration nodes. However, developing cost-effective strategies from engineering and operation perspectives to implement CCUS is challenging. This is due to the diversity of upstream emitting processes located in different geographical areas, available downstream utilization technologies, storage sites capacity/location, and current/future energy/emissions/economic conditions. This paper identifies the need to achieve a robust hybrid assessment tool for CCUS modeling, simulation, and optimization based mainly on artificial intelligence (AI) combined with mechanistic methods. Thus, a critical literature review is conducted to assess CCUS technologies and their related process modeling/simulation/optimization techniques, while evaluating the needs for improvements or new developments to reduce overall CCUS systems design and operation costs. These techniques include first principles- based and data-driven ones, i.e. AI and related machine learning (ML) methods. Besides, the paper gives an overview on the role of life cycle assessment (LCA) to evaluate CCUS systems where the combined LCA-AI approach is assessed. Other advanced methods based on the AI/ML capabilities/algorithms can be developed to optimize the whole CCUS value chain. Interpretable ML combined with explainable AI can accelerate optimum materials selection by giving strong rules which accelerates the design of capture/utilization plants afterwards. Besides, deep reinforcement learning (DRL) coupled with process simulations will accelerate process design/operation optimization through considering simultaneous optimization of equipment sizing and operating conditions. Moreover, generative deep learning (GDL) is a key solution to optimum capture/utilization materials design/discovery. The developed AI methods can be generalizable where the extracted knowledge can be transferred to future works to help cutting the costs of CCUS value chain.

Abstract
The increasing emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere has urged the scientific community to investigate alternatives to alleviate such emissions, being that they are the principal contributor to the greenhouse gas effect. One major alternative is carbon capture and utilization (CCU) toward the production of value-added chemicals using diverse technologies. This work aims at the study of the catalytic potential of different cobalt-derived nanoparticles for methanol synthesis from carbon dioxide hydrogenation. Thanks to its abundance and cost efficacy, cobalt can serve as an economical catalyst compared to noble metal-based catalysts. In this work, we present a systematic comparison among different cobalt and cobalt oxide nanocomposites in terms of their efficiency as catalysts for carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol as well as how different supports, zeolites, MnO2, and CeO2, can enhance their catalytic capacity. The oxygen vacancies in the cerium oxide act as carbon dioxide adsorption and activation sites, which facilitates a higher methanol production yield.

Abstract
Genetic heterogeneity is a common trait in microbial populations, caused by de novo mutations and changes in variant frequencies over time. Microbes can thus differ genetically within the same species and acquire different phenotypes. For instance, performance and stability of anaerobic reactors are linked to the composition of the microbiome involved in the digestion process and to the environmental parameters imposing selective pressure on the metagenome, shaping its evolution. Changes at the strain level have the potential to determine variations in microbial functions, and their characterization could provide new insight into ecological and evolutionary processes driving anaerobic digestion. In this work, single nucleotide variant dynamics were studied in two time-course biogas upgrading experiments, testing alternative carbon sources and the response to exogenous hydrogen addition. A cumulative total of 76,229 and 64,289 high-confidence single nucleotide variants were discerned in the experiments related to carbon substrate availability and hydrogen addition, respectively. By combining complementary bioinformatic approaches, the study reconstructed the precise strain count-two for both hydrogenotrophic archaea-and tracked their abundance over time, while also characterizing tens of genes under strong selection. Results in the dominant archaea revealed the presence of nearly 100 variants within genes encoding enzymes involved in hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis. In the bacterial counterparts, 119 mutations were identified across 23 genes associated with the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway, suggesting a possible impact on the syntrophic acetate-oxidation process. Strain replacement events took place in both experiments, confirming the trends suggested by the variants trajectories and providing a comprehensive understanding of the biogas upgrading microbiome at the strain level. Overall, this resolution level allowed us to reveal fine-scale evolutionary mechanisms, functional dynamics, and strain-level metabolic variation that could contribute to the selection of key species actively involved in the carbon dioxide fixation process.

Abstract
The requirement of concentrated carbon dioxide (CO2 ) feedstock significantly limits the economic feasibility of electrochemical CO2 reduction (eCO2 R) which often involves multiple intermediate processes, including CO2 capture, energy-intensive regeneration, compression, and transportation. Herein, a bifunctional gas diffusion electrode (BGDE) for separation and eCO2 R from a low-concentration CO2 stream is reported. The BGDE is demonstrated for the selective production of ethylene (C2 H4 ) by combining high-density-polyethylene-derived porous carbon (HPC) as a physisorbent with polycrystalline copper as a conversion catalyst. The BGDE shows substantial tolerance to 10 vol% CO2 exhibiting a Faradaic efficiency of ≈45% toward C2 H4 at a current density of 80 mA cm-2 , outperforming previous reports that utilized such partial pressure (PCO2 = 0.1 atm and above) and unaltered polycrystalline copper. Molecular dynamics simulation and mixed gas permeability assessment reveal that such selective performance is ensured by high CO2 uptake of the microporous HPC as well as continuous desorption owing to the molecular diffusion and concentration gradient created by the binary flow of CO2 and nitrogen (CO2 |N2 ) within the sorbent boundary. Based on detailed techno-economic analysis, it is concluded that this in situ process can be economically compelling by precluding the C2 H4 production cost associated with the energy-intensive intermediate steps of the conventional decoupled process.

Abstract
High catalytic activities of Ru-PNP [Ru = ruthenium; PNP = bis alkyl- or aryl ethylphosphinoamine complexes in ionic liquids (ILs) were obtained for the reversible hydrogenation of CO2 and dehydrogenation of formic acid (FA) under exceedingly mild conditions and without sacrificial additives. The novel catalytic system relies on the synergic combination of Ru-PNP and IL and proceeds with CO2 hydrogenation already at 25 °C under a continuous flow of 1 bar of CO2/H2 (1:5), leading to 14 mol % FA with respect to the IL. A pressure of 40 bar of CO2/H2 (1:1) provides 126 mol % of FA/IL corresponding to a space-time yield (STY) of FA of 0.15 mol L-1 h-1. The conversion of CO2 contained in imitated biogas was also achieved at 25 °C. Furthermore, the Ru-PNP/IL system catalyzes FA dehydrogenation with average turnover frequencies up to 11,000 h-1 under heat-integrated conditions for proton-exchange membrane fuel cell applications (<100 °C). Thus, 4 mL of a 0.005 M Ru-PNP/IL system converted 14.5 L FA over 4 months with a turnover number exceeding 18,000,000 and a STY of CO2 and H2 of 35.7 mol L-1 h-1. Finally, 13 hydrogenation/dehydrogenation cycles were achieved with no sign of deactivation. These results demonstrate the potential of the Ru-PNP/IL system to serve as a FA/CO2 battery, a H2 releaser, and a hydrogenative CO2 converter.

Abstract
Water is known to play a controlling role in directing mineralization pathways and stabilizing metastable amorphous intermediates in hydrous carbonate mineral MCO3·nH2O systems, where M2+ is a divalent metal cation. Despite this recognition, the nature of the controls on crystallization is poorly understood, largely owing to the difficulty in characterizing the dynamically disordered structures of amorphous intermediates at the atomic scale. Here, we present a series of atomistic models, derived from ab initio molecular dynamics simulation, across a range of experimentally relevant cations (M = Ca, Mg, Sr) and hydration levels (0 ≤ n ≤ 2). Theoretical simulations of the dependence of the X-ray pair distribution function on the hydration level n show good agreement with available experimental data and thus provide further evidence for a lack of significant nanoscale structure in amorphous carbonates. Upon dehydration, the metal coordination number does not change significantly, but the relative extent of water dissociation increases, indicating that a thermodynamic driving force exists for water dissociation to accompany dehydration. Mg strongly favors monodentate conformation of carbonate ligands and shows a marked preference to exchange monodentate carbonate O for water O upon hydration, whereas Ca and Sr exchange mono- and bidentate carbonate ligands with comparable frequency. Water forms an extensive hydrogen bond network among both water and carbonate groups that exhibits frequent proton transfers for all three cations considered suggesting that proton mobility is likely predominantly due to water dissociation and proton transfer reactions rather than molecular water diffusion.

Jana A, Snyder SW, Crumlin EJ, Qian J. Integrated carbon capture and conversion: A review on C 2+ product mechanisms and mechanism-guided strategies. Front Chem 2023; 11:1135829.

Abstract
The need to reduce atmospheric CO2 concentrations necessitates CO2 capture technologies for conversion into stable products or long-term storage. A single pot solution that simultaneously captures and converts CO2 could minimize additional costs and energy demands associated with CO2 transport, compression, and transient storage. While a variety of reduction products exist, currently, only conversion to C2+ products including ethanol and ethylene are economically advantageous. Cu-based catalysts have the best-known performance for CO2 electroreduction to C2+ products. Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are touted for their carbon capture capacity. Thus, integrated Cu-based MOFs could be an ideal candidate for the one-pot capture and conversion. In this paper, we review Cu-based MOFs and MOF derivatives that have been used to synthesize C2+ products with the objective of understanding the mechanisms that enable synergistic capture and conversion. Furthermore, we discuss strategies based on the mechanistic insights that can be used to further enhance production. Finally, we discuss some of the challenges hindering widespread use of Cu-based MOFs and MOF derivatives along with possible solutions to overcome the challenges.

Abstract
CO2 capture from industry sectors or directly from the atmosphere is drawing much attention on a global scale because of the drastic changes in the climate and ecosystem which pose a potential threat to human health and life on Earth. In the past decades, CO2 capture technology relied on classical liquid amine scrubbing. Due to its high energy consumption and corrosive property, CO2 capture using solid materials has recently come under the spotlight. A variety of porous solid materials were reported such as zeolites and metal-organic frameworks. However, amine-functionalized porous materials outperform all others in terms of CO2 adsorption capacity and regeneration efficiency. This review provides a brief overview of CO2 capture by various amines and mechanistic aspects for newcomers entering into this field. This review also covers a state-of-the-art regeneration method, visible/UV light-triggered CO2 desorption at room temperature. In the last section, the current issues and future perspectives are summarized.

Valorization of Different Fractions from Butiá Pomace by Pyrolysis: H 2 Generation and Use of the Biochars for CO 2 Capture. Molecules 2022; 27:7515.

Abstract
This work valorizes butiá pomace (Butia capitata) using pyrolysis to prepare CO2 adsorbents. Different fractions of the pomace, like fibers, endocarps, almonds, and deoiled almonds, were characterized and later pyrolyzed at 700 °C. Gas, bio-oil, and biochar fractions were collected and characterized. The results revealed that biochar, bio-oil, and gas yields depended on the type of pomace fraction (fibers, endocarps, almonds, and deoiled almonds). The higher biochar yield was obtained by endocarps (31.9%wt.). Furthermore, the gas fraction generated at 700 °C presented an H2 content higher than 80%vol regardless of the butiá fraction used as raw material. The biochars presented specific surface areas reaching 220.4 m2 g-1. Additionally, the endocarp-derived biochar presented a CO2 adsorption capacity of 66.43 mg g-1 at 25 °C and 1 bar, showing that this material could be an effective adsorbent to capture this greenhouse gas. Moreover, this capacity was maintained for 5 cycles. Biochars produced from butiá precursors without activation resulted in a higher surface area and better performance than some activated carbons reported in the literature. The results highlighted that pyrolysis could provide a green solution for butiá agro-industrial wastes, generating H2 and an adsorbent for CO2.

Abstract
In this study, new composite materials of montmorillonite, biochar, or aerosil, containing metal–organic frameworks (MOF) were synthesized in situ. Overall, three different MOFs—CuBTC, UTSA-16, and UiO-66-BTEC—were used. Obtained adsorbents were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, nitrogen adsorption porosimetry, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry. Additionally, the content of metallic and nonmetallic elements was determined to investigate the crystalline structure, surface morphology, thermal stability of the obtained MOF-composites, etc. Cyclic CO2 adsorption analysis was performed using the thermogravimetric approach, modeling adsorption from flue gasses. In our study, the addition of aerosil to CuBTC (CuBTC-A-15) enhanced the sorbed CO2 amount by 90.2% and the addition of biochar (CuBTC-BC-5) increased adsorbed the CO2 amount by 75.5% in comparison to pristine CuBTC obtained in this study. Moreover, the addition of montmorillonite (CuBTC-Mt-15) increased the adsorbed amount of CO2 by 27%. CuBTC-A-15 and CuBTC-BC-5 are considered to be the most perspective adsorbents, capturing 3.7 mmol/g CO2 and showing good stability after 20 adsorption-desorption cycles.

Abstract
Abstract
Biofuel is a sustainable energy source that may use to replace fossil-based carbon dioxide and mitigate the adverse effects of exhaust emissions. Nowadays, we need to replace petroleum fuels with alternatives from environmentally sustainable sources of increasing importance. Biofuels derived from biomass have gained considerable attention, and thus most of the traditional methods that harm the environment and humans have retreated. Developing an active and stable heterogeneous catalyst is a step of utmost importance in the renewable liquid fuel technology. Thus, there is a great interest in developing methods for producing liquid fuels from non-edible sources. It may also be from dry plant tissues such as agricultural waste. Lignocellulosic biomass can be a sustainable source for producing renewable fuels and chemicals, as well as the replacement of petroleum products. Hence, the researchers aspired to synthesize new catalysts using a cheap technology developed to hydrolyze cellulose and then produce bioethanol without needing expensive enzymes, which may ultimately lead to a lower fuel price. In this paper, we will focus on the recent technologies used to produce sustainable biofuels through inexpensive incentives and innocuous to the environment.

Abstract
Carbon capture is among the most sustainable strategies to limit carbon dioxide emissions, which account for a large share of human impact on climate change and ecosystem destruction. This growing threat calls for novel solutions to reduce emissions on an industrial level. Carbon capture by amorphous solids is among the most reasonable options as it requires less energy when compared to other techniques and has comparatively lower development and maintenance costs. In this respect, the method of carbon dioxide adsorption by solids can be used in the long-term and on an industrial scale. Furthermore, certain sorbents are reusable, which makes their use for carbon capture economically justified and acquisition of natural resources full and sustainable. Clay minerals, which are a universally available and versatile material, are amidst such sorbents. These materials are capable of interlayer and surface adsorption of carbon dioxide. In addition, their modification allows to improve carbon dioxide adsorption capabilities even more. The aim of the review is to discuss the prospective of the most widely available clay minerals in the Baltic States for large-scale carbon dioxide emission reduction and to suggest suitable approaches for clay modification to improve carbon dioxide adsorption capacity.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide emissions and their sharply rising effect on global warming have encouraged research efforts to develop efficient technologies and materials for CO2 capture. Post-combustion CO2 capture by adsorption using solid materials is considered an attractive technology to achieve this goal. Templated materials, such as Zeolite Templated-Carbons and MOF-Derived Carbons, are considered as the next-generation carbon adsorbent materials, owing to their outstanding textural properties (high surface areas of ca. 4000 m2 g-1 and micropore volumes of ca. 1.7 cm3 g-1) and their versatility for surface functionalization. These materials have demonstrated remarkable CO2 adsorption capacities and CO2/N2 selectivities up to ca. 5 mmol g-1 and 100, respectively, at 298 K and 1 bar, and low isosteric heat of adsorption at zero coverage of ca. 12 kJ mol-1. Herein, a review of the advances in preparation of ZTCs and MDCs for CO2 capture is presented, followed by a critical analysis of the effects of textural properties and surface functionality on CO2 adsorption, including CO2 uptake, CO2/N2 selectivity, and isosteric heat of adsorption. This analysis led to the introduction of a Vmicrox N-content factor to evaluate the interplay between N-content and textural properties to maximize the CO2 uptake. Despite their promising performance in CO2 uptake, further testing using mixtures and impurities, and studies on adsorbent regeneration, and cyclic operation are desirable to demonstrate the stability of the MDCs and ZTCs for large scale processes. In addition, advances in scale-up syntheses and their economics are needed.
