With fossil fuel being the major source of energy, CO₂ emission levels need to be reduced to a minimal amount namely from anthropogenic sources. Energy consumption is expected to rise by 48% in the next 30 years, and global warming is becoming an alarming issue which needs to be addressed on a thorough technical basis. Nonetheless, exploring CO₂ capture using membrane contactor technology has shown great potential to be applied and utilised by industry to deal with post- and pre-combustion of CO₂. A systematic review of the literature has been conducted to analyse and assess CO₂ removal using membrane contactors for capturing techniques in industrial processes. The review began with a total of 2650 papers, which were obtained from three major databases, and then were excluded down to a final number of 525 papers following a defined set of criteria. The results showed that the use of hollow fibre membranes have demonstrated popularity, as well as the use of amine solvents for CO₂ removal. This current systematic review in CO₂ removal and capture is an important milestone in the synthesis of up to date research with the potential to serve as a benchmark databank for further research in similar areas of work. This study provides the first systematic enquiry in the evidence to research further sustainable methods to capture and separate CO₂.

由于化石燃料是主要的能源，因此需要将人为排放源的CO ₂排放水平降至最低。未来30年，能源消耗预计将增长48％，全球变暖正成为一个令人担忧的问题，需要在彻底的技术基础上加以解决。尽管如此，使用膜接触器技术探索CO ₂捕集已显示出巨大的潜力，可被工业应用和利用来处理CO _2的后燃烧和预燃烧。对文献进行了系统的回顾，以分析和评估CO ₂使用膜接触器去除工业过程中的捕获技术。审查首先从3个主要数据库中获得2650篇论文，然后按照一组确定的标准将其排除到最终525篇论文之外。结果表明，中空纤维膜的使用以及胺溶剂用于CO ₂去除的应用已证明是受欢迎的。当前对CO ₂去除和捕集的系统综述是最新研究综合的重要里程碑，有可能作为类似工作领域进一步研究的基准数据库。这项研究提供了第一个系统的证据，以研究进一步的可持续方法来捕获和分离CO ₂。
