Increase in concentration of Carbon dioxide (CO2), which is major greenhouse gas, is one of the challenges of the 21st century. Carbon Capture and storage (CCS) technology is attracting higher interest which can lower down this increase in CO2 concentration. The available capture technologies are absorption, adsorption and many more. Mature technology like absorption has used most but having disadvantages like high regeneration cost, equipment corrosion. Adsorption is believed to be economical due to its easy application, less energy penalty and low equipment cost but suitable low-cost adsorbent need to be developed. Carbon based adsorbents are found to be attractive but very less efforts have been made for development of carbon adsorbents using waste materials. Thus, objectives of our work are to overcome this gap, in which direct carbonization followed by physical activation in development of carbon adsorbents at lower costs and improve the texture properties and CO2 capture capacity.
