Abstract: Greenhouse gases emissions from large scale industries as well as gasoline based vehicles are mainly responsible for global warming since the 1980s. At present, it has triggered global efforts to reduce the level of GHG. The contribution of carbon dioxide (CO2) in polluting the environment is at a peak due to the excessive use of coal in power plants. So, serious attention is required to reduce the level of CO2 using advanced technologies. Carbon dioxide capture and storage may play an important role in this direction. In process industries, various carbon dioxide capture techniques can be used to reduce CO2 emissions. However, post-combustion carbon dioxide capture is on top priority. Nowadays the researcher is focusing their work on CO2 capture using hybrid solvent. This work highlights a review of carbon dioxide capture using various kind of hybrid solvent in a packed column. The various challenges for absorption efficiency enhancement and future direction are also discussed in the present work. It is concluded through the literature survey that hybrid solvent shows better efficiency in comparison to the aqueous solution used for CO2 capture.
