The studies on the capture and storage of CO<sub>2</sub> have gained significant research attention, and to attract the world towards CO<sub>2</sub> capturing and storing, it is necessary to find suitable applications for this captured CO<sub>2</sub>. Methanol is one of the products which can be produced by utilizing the captured CO<sub>2</sub> and hydrogen that can be produced by water splitting. Keeping in view both these green fuel production processes, this study proposes a combined application of both these technologies for the production of methanol, which is an important chemical used in manufacturing industries. This review paper presents a brief study of both carbon capture and hydrogen production technologies. It also provides research trends, economic aspects, and methods of incorporating both these technologies to produce methanol. Additionally, the prospects of the approach in Oman have also been presented.展开更多
