Abstract
In Bangladesh, 260,000 hectares of forest were cleared from 2021 to 2024. This amount represents 13% of the total forest area in 2000. This deforestation released a large amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, roughly 150 million tons of CO₂. This issue mirrors deforestation happening globally, increasing carbon emissions and contributing to global warming, climate change, sea level rise, and various other environmental problems. The research aims to lower excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere using carbon capture technologies. This study used secondary data and a literature review. The research team gathered data from scientific journals, conference proceedings, e-books, and trustworthy websites. Key databases included BASE, ScienceDirect, Taylor & Francis, Springer Nature, and Neliti. The study focused on ""carbon capture technologies,"" ""carbon capture and storage,"" and ""carbon capture utilization."" Research conducted between 2000 and 2024 was selected. The collected data was analyzed to compare different carbon capture methods based on CO₂ capture efficiency, environmental benefits, energy consumption, and suitability for urban and agricultural settings. The limitations of each technology were also assessed to evaluate their feasibility in areas with high deforestation. The analysis showed that direct air capture technologies have strong potential for reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide. Sorbent-based mechanical trees can capture about 90 kg of carbon dioxide per unit per day. Additionally, bio-based systems using algae can remove a similar amount of CO₂ and offer extra environmental benefits. Among all methods, passive sorbent technology requires less energy, while the biological conversion-based hybrid system may provide greater environmental advantages. This technology can capture CO₂ and is applicable in urban areas and farming. It can help improve agriculture and reduce pollution in cities. These findings support the feasibility of implementing carbon capture solutions in regions facing high deforestation and highlight their potential role in climate change mitigation and environmental restoration efforts. Carbon capture technologies can reduce atmospheric CO₂ levels, especially in regions with severe deforestation. Passive sorbent systems consume less energy, while bio-based and hybrid systems offer environmental benefits by producing organic fertilizers. These technologies will play significant roles in revitalizing agriculture and urban environments, contributing to climate change mitigation.
