Abstract

Izazovi modernog doba sve su više usmjereni k rješavanju problema koje sa sobom nose nusprodukti utjecaja čovjeka kroz razvoj tehnologije modernog doba. Posebno se pod povećalom našlo pitanje porasta ugljikovog dioksida u Zemljinoj atmosferi, koji po mnogima predstavlja veliku prepreku daljnjeg razvitka tehnologije, uz održanje i boljitak trenutnog stanja okoliša i sveukupne temperature Zemljine površine, koja ujedno i određuje kvalitetu života na Zemlji. Hvatanje, korištenje i skladištenje ugljikovog dioksida složeni je proces koji podrazumijeva uklanjanje ugljikovog dioksida iz zraka, okoliša industrijskih postrojenja, te pogona za proizvodnju raznih vrsta energije. Njegovo skladištenje u iscrpljena nalazišta prirodnog plina ili u vodene akvifere omogućava veliku uštedu na razini tog pitanja, a korištenje ugljikovog dioksida primijenjeno je na široka područja ljudskih djelatnosti, kao što su petrokemijska industrija, medicina, prehrambena industrija te razna industrija sirovina . Široka primjena takvih tehnologija ovisiti će o cijeni, isplativosti, zahtjevnosti tehnološke izrade te mogućnosti transporta produkta do konačnog cilja. S druge strane, postavlja se pitanje stvarnog učinka ovih tehnologije na globalnoj razini uoči prepreka koje nose pri svom ostvarivanju. Privlačenje investicija u takve vrste tehnologije za smanjenje i uklanjanje emisija CO2 još uvijek predstavlja posebnu prepreku zbog nedovoljnog korištenja na značajnijoj globalnoj razini.

Abstract (english)

The challenges of the modern era are increasingly focused on addressing the problems brought about by the byproducts of human impact through the development of modern technology. Particulary, the issue of the rising carbon dioxide levels in the Earth's atmosphere has come under scrutiny, which many consider a significant obstacle to further technological advancement, while also maintaining and improving the current environmental conditions and overall surface temperature of the Earth, which also determines the quality of the life on Earth. The capture, utilization and storage of carbon dioxide is a complex process that involves removing carbon dioxide from the air, the environment of industrial facilities, and various energy production operations. Storing it in depleted natural gas reservoirs or in aquatic aquifers allows for significant savings in addressing this issue, and the use of carbon dioxide find application in a wide range of human activities, such as the petrochemical industry, medicine, the food industry and various raw material industries. The broad application of such technologies will depend on the cost, profitability, technological complexity and the ability to transport the product to its final destination. On the other hand, the question arises about the actual global impact of these technologies in the face of the obstacles they encounter in their implementation. Attracting investments in such types of technologies for reducing and removing CO2 emissions still poses a particular challenge due to their insufficient use on a significant global scale.
