Global Review of Carbon Capture and Sequestration with Case Studies in Asphalt Binder Producing Oil Refining Industry

The production of asphalt binder is a notable source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions owing to the energy-intensive characteristics of the process and its dependency on fossil fuels. The purpose of this comprehensive review is to examine various methodologies, scholarly literature, and real time cases to offer insights into the effectiveness of carbon sequestration strategies on a global scale. This study investigates the global interest in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology. This study shows that the Americas, particularly North America, continues to maintain a leading position globally in the deployment of CCS with major progress in both policy and technology. This study also highlights six case studies conducted in diverse geographical regions, effectively illustrating the successful implementation of carbon sequestration techniques in the field of oil refining industries, a primary source of asphalt binder. This study enhances comprehension of CCS in the oil refining industry and facilitates the widespread adoption of carbon sequestration techniques in the construction of asphalt pavement, therefore promoting the development of sustainable pavement. The study promotes for active involvement from researchers and industry practitioners in integrating carbon sequestration methodologies.
