Abstract
Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration tremendously increased over the years due to fossil-fuel based power generation, industrialization, and deforestation. Therefore carbon dioxide capture technologies are essential to maintaining a better living environment. However, there should be a utilizing method with captured carbon dioxide. There are mainly three mechanisms involving captured carbon dioxide, Permanently storage, enhanced oil recovery, and carbon dioxide as a chemical feedstock. All of them have an advantage as well as disadvantages over the others.
