Effectiveness of Amino Acids for Carbon Storage and Utilization Applications

Carbon dioxide (CO₂), the primary greenhouse gas, can have a major impact on global warming, if present in the earth’s atmosphere beyond permissible limits. In fact, the accumulative emissions of CO₂ gas in the atmosphere are progressively increasing causing the global temperature rise by 1.5°C to 2°C (ref. 1). On the other hand, CO₂ also can form clathrate hydrates under some favourable thermodynamic conditions.
