AN INNOVATIVE METHOD FOR REDUCTION AND UTILIZATION OF ATMOSPHERIC CARBONDIOXIDE

Carbon capture and storage (CCS, is the process of capturing waste carbon dioxide(CO2) from large point sources, such as fossil fuel power plants, transporting it to a storage site, and depositing it where it will not enter the atmosphere, normally an underground geological formation. The aim is to capture and convert wide range of quantities of CO2 from the atmosphere. This project paper involves a different technique in capturing the CO2 from the atmosphere and converting it into a commercial form, so that it does not affect the environment through leakage even on a long term basis. Sodium hydroxide is the main reagent playing a vital role in this technique by suitable handling methods.
