| Description | The International Energy Outlook 2011 (IEO 2011) reference case reported that world energy-related carbon dioxide $(CO_{2}$) emissions would increase from 30.2 billion metric tons in 2008 to 35.2 billion metric tons in 2020 and 43.2 billion metric tons in 2035. Control of anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG), especially $CO_{2}$, is one of the most challenging environmental issues related to global climate change. Three different options could be employed to reduce $CO_{2}$ emissions, i.e., (1) improve energy efficiency in industrial processes, (2) switch to use less carbon-intensive and renewable energy processes, and (3) $CO_{2}$ capture and storage (CCS). The global energy consumption will grow by 53% from 2008 to 2035 as reported by IEO 2011 highlight, and the renewable energy sources are not sufficient to meet the increased energy demands in the world due to the limitation of technology development and cost of the renewable energy (Hoffert et al. 2002). Thus, CCS is considered as the most promising way to combat global warming by reducing $CO_{2}$ emission to the atmosphere. The main application of CCS is likely to be at large $CO_{2}$ point sources: fossil fuel power plants and industrial plants (particularly the manufacture of iron, steel, refinery, cement and chemicals, and natural gas/biogas plants). Among them, fossil fuel power plants are responsible for the largest $CO_{2}$ 96emissions of 78%, followed by cement factory (7%), refinery (6%), and iron/steel plant 4.8% (2005), and post-combustion power plants being the main contributor which need to be firstly tackled. Moreover, $CO_{2}$ capture from the exhaust gases in process industries, such as cement factory, refinery, iron and steel production plants should also receive attention due to its large $CO_{2}$ amount.
