This review presents a comprehensive outlook on Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) technologies, with a focused discussion on Integrated Carbon Capture and Utilization (ICCU) approaches. We begin with a brief historical and scientific background on CO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; bottom: -0.25em; color: rgb(31, 31, 31); font-family: ElsevierGulliver, Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, Times, STIXGeneral, &amp;quot;Cambria Math&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Microsoft Sans Serif&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Segoe UI Symbol&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Arial Unicode MS&amp;quot;, serif, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(31, 31, 31); font-family: ElsevierGulliver, Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, Times, STIXGeneral, &amp;quot;Cambria Math&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Microsoft Sans Serif&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Segoe UI Symbol&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Arial Unicode MS&amp;quot;, serif, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;as a greenhouse gas and the pressing need to curb emissions. A critical evaluation of various capture technologies-post-combustion, pre-combustion, oxy-fuel, and direct air capture is provided, highlighting their principles, merits, and limitations. The current global landscape of CCUS infrastructure, including pilot, commercial, and developing-scale operations, is summarized. A SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis is presented to assess the viability of CCUS pathways. Particular emphasis is placed on CO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; bottom: -0.25em; color: rgb(31, 31, 31); font-family: ElsevierGulliver, Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, Times, STIXGeneral, &amp;quot;Cambria Math&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Microsoft Sans Serif&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Segoe UI Symbol&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Arial Unicode MS&amp;quot;, serif, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(31, 31, 31); font-family: ElsevierGulliver, Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, Times, STIXGeneral, &amp;quot;Cambria Math&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Microsoft Sans Serif&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Segoe UI Symbol&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Arial Unicode MS&amp;quot;, serif, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;capture mechanisms via absorption (liquid solvents like amines, amino acids, ILs, ammonia, and alkaline solutions) and adsorption (solid sorbents), followed by a detailed literature survey of solvent-based capture methods.

	In this study, we explore a sustainable approach to repurposing eggshell waste as a catalyst for the conversion of biomass-derived sucrose, sugar syrup, xylan, and cellulose into lactic acid, a chemical in high demand. Currently, lactic acid is industrially produced using lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which require precise pH control and temperature maintenance, complicating their application. Our work demonstrates a one-pot synthesis of lactic acid using calcined eggshells in an aqueous medium via simple thermal treatment. Comprehensive characterization of the eggshell catalyst was carried out using techniques such as XRD, BET, FT-IR, FE-SEM, XPS, and TGA, revealing that calcination above 700 degrees C transformed the eggshell into CaO, drastically altering its morphology and enhancing its basicity. At 200 degrees C, using 70 wt% of catalyst for 1 h, we achieved a remarkable 92 C-mol% lactic acid yield with excellent carbon balance. The increased basicity played a key role in selectively driving lactic acid production. Our approach offers a green, sustainable solution with significant implications for future research in valorizing waste materials and advancing bio-based chemical production.&lt;/p&gt;
