Abstract

Since the industrial era, the concentration of CO2 has strongly increased in the atmosphere due to human activity. The most widely used process to capture CO2 faces criticism due to its high energy requirements and its use of chemical solvents. Green solvents are considered as an alternative. It is in this perspective that this master thesis was launched. The main objective of this work was to evaluate CO2 capture and valorization with novel technologies and green solvents.
