<hr>Industrial perspective on the current status of carbon capture application in China's nonpower industries

With the continuous increase in anthropogenic CO2 emissions, many countries have researched and implemented carbon reduction technologies for large-scale industrial processes. In addition to the power industry, the cement, steel and iron, and chemical production industries are large sources of CO2 emissions. However, the processes and flue gas characteristics of each industry differ; thus, the carbon capture methods applicable to each industry differ. This paper reviews the key technologies, status, and development trends of carbon reduction methods for each industrial source with a focus on the unique characteristics of each industry. As emission reduction targets become stricter, the large-scale development of carbon reduction demonstration projects will inevitably lead to a decrease in the costs of emission reduction technology. This review would be useful for obtaining an overview of the current progress and future prospect for carbon reduction of nonpower industries in both fundamental research and commercial applications.
