As global imperatives demand urgent climate action, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), technologies stand at the forefront of industrial decarbonization. In this review, we provide a critical and comprehensive insight into the current landscape of carbon dioxide (CO2) capturing methodologies, bridging the gap between foundational chemical processes and next-generation innovations. By systematically evaluating the technical efficiencies, economic viability, and scalability bottlenecks of diverse pathways, including absorption, adsorption, and advanced membrane systems, this paper offers a definitive roadmap to guide future research and accelerate the deployment of viable net- zero solutions. Concern about climate change has increased over the years from a global viewpoint. To date, the reduction of CO2emissions remain aesthetic attention and consideration abroad the nations, owing to the toxicity of CO2gas and the seriousness of its release into the air; it has become possible to collect it and sell it in hard currency in the global markets. With the renaissance of capturing CO2 gas, there has been a steadily growing interest in this research field. Confirming the assertion, we present a state-of-the-art review of CO2 gas capturing, collection, and utilization by physical processes. There are several technologies, such as Absorption, Adsorption, Membrane, Cryogenic Distillation, and others, to capture and separate CO2 gas to use it as a raw material in other industries or for storage on capture storage (CCS), carbon capture utilizing and storage (CCUS), and to obtain financial benefits from the Certificates of Emissions Reduction (CER) in carbon markets. Until now, only absorption technology has been applied in the industry, although it includes some problems and requires work to develop it to increase its advantages and reduce its disadvantages. For the other technologies, more research is needed to improve the technical procedure to reduce the problems in them and increase the benefits for everyone, such as the key advances of CO2 capturing, its utilization principles, and comparisons of capturing and selling. Conclusively, this research paper will enhance the researchers' concept and fill the gap toward a green environment.
