Abstract

In this research, a technological and prospective study of qualitative and descriptive nature was carried out regarding different processes and technologies capable of impacting and promoting the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. This relief process involves the possibility of removing atmospheric pollutants as well as reducing their emissions. It is crucial to emphasize the importance of significant scientific breakthroughs towards the widespread commercialization of these technologies, which are essential for countries to achieve their established goals. This is indispensable for minimizing the predicted disastrous consequences for humanity over the next decades as a result of global warming and environmental changes. Within this scope lies the utilization of CCUS methods (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage) and the reduction of emissions of N2O, CH4, and fluorinated gases by industries, power plants, the agricultural sector, and the indiscriminate use of land. Simultaneously, there is an urgent need for stricter and more restrictive local, national, and international policies that promote and enforce a gradual, sustainable, yet definitive change in the global energy structure.

Author Biographies

Rodrigo da Silveira Ribeiro, Universidade Federal de Goiás

Graduating in Chemical Engineering from the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), with scientific initiation in the project LEACHING LATERITE ORE WITH HIGH IRON CONTENT TO OBTAIN NICKEL, 2022. I completed one year of high school (sophomore/junior) at Goshen High School, in the state of NY, USA, during 2015. I was a Cast Member of a Disney exchange program, which lasted 2 months, between December and January 2018/2019. I did a 2-week exchange in Boston at Kings School, an English school. I won this exchange after being awarded in a test called the National High School Championship, carried out by the company CNEM.
