Climate change is among the most urgent and serious problems that humanity must address. Climate change is driven by the atmospheric accumulation of several greenhouse gases (GHGs). Among these gases, CO2has been showing the most alarming global accumulation rate and as predicted by IPCC, its global concentration may reach up to 570 ppm raising the global temperature by around 1.5 °C near the year 2100. With a need for mitigation of the adverse effects accredited to it, carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technologies based on thermal, chemical, biochemical, photochemical and electrochemical pathways have had major appeal among the scientific community and the industries. These technologies, while reducing the rate of global CO2emission, also valorize the CO2for producing several products that complement the chemical industries. Despite low temperature application favor noble metals for thermal utilization of CO2, their high cost has led researchers to focus towards the development of catalysts based on earth abundant metals and their adaptability to a suitable support. Electrochemical transformation systems have yielded for example, formic acid whose production can lead to 95.01% reduction in global warming alongside formation of oxalic acid, CO, ethylene, ethanol etc. through electrical reduction within ambient conditions. Furthermore, the technology is based on utilizing renewable perpetual sources of electricity with development works focusing on increasing catalytic life. CO2has also been photochemically reduced with absorbed radiation generating an excited state followed by transferring the charge to a functional ligand. Developments related to for example photosensitizer, catalysts, and obtained yield are presented, describing various factors affecting the photochemical transformation. In the biochemical pathway; by selecting desired route and manipulating strains, CO2can be enzymatically transformed to other products with optimization in yields. In this review, an overview on advancements achieved so far in the aforementioned technologies and future course of action are presented.
