Abstract

Global greenhouse gas emissions are growing year after year. Although there is a temporary drop in 2021, the general trend is upward. Reduced greenhouse gas emissions are a critical goal. By evaluating the relevant literature, this research investigates the function of carbon capture systems, as well as their benefits and drawbacks. Carbon capture is a method of capturing carbon dioxide emissions at the source or straight from the air. Carbon dioxide emissions are either removed or converted into usable goods. Carbon capture technology is one of the most essential techniques of achieving zero carbon emissions. Biochar is one of the most commonly utilized because of its porous nature and capacity to absorb more substances. Biochar is primarily utilized for carbon sequestration and soil remediation. When biochar is changed using a mix of physical, chemical, and physical-chemical processes, its adsorption capability is considerably increased. The ease with which biochar may be made makes it simpler to encourage its usage. It is critical for lowering carbon dioxide levels in the natural environment.
