Barges also present a feasible alternative if the capture site is near a waterway. Maritime transport becomes more advantageous than pipelines, particularly over long distances and across ocean. Despite the need to liquefy CO<sub>2</sub> and to add temporary storage facilities for loading and unloading onto ships, beyond a certain distance at fixed CO<sub>2</sub> transported and plant life, ship transport optimal at pressures of 7 or 15 bar depending on the type of vessel. Impurities in CO<sub>2</sub>, arising from various industrial processes and variable performances of capture technologies, increase energy consumption during compression and could cause corrosion risks. Specifications for CO<sub>2</sub> ship transport limit the concentration of certain impurities with strict thresholds. Methods for purifying CO<sub>2</sub>, such as the two-flash system and stripping column, have been proposed to meet these specifications. The studied CO<sub>2</sub> liquefaction methods show that hybrid cycles, combining open cycle with Joule-Thompson expansion and closed cycle with cooling machine offer reduced energy consumption and improved CO<sub>2</sub> recovery compared to open or closed cycles. In the presence of the maximum threshold of impurities in the pipeline, energy consumption can nearly double from 21.8 kWh/t<sub>CO</sub><sub>2</sub> to 40.9 kWh/t<sub>CO</sub><sub>2</sub>, with the highest recovery rising 98.1 %.

However, studies on the separation of CO<sub>2</sub>/CH<sub>4</sub> using MXene-confined ILs membranes are limited, especially in terms of understanding the mechanisms at the molecular level. In this work, the system of CO<sub>2</sub>/CH<sub>4</sub> in MXene-confined ILs membranes was studied by molecular dynamic simulations. The number density results reveal that MXene stratifies the ILs between the layers, with higher concentrations of ILs near MXene and lower concentrations in the middle layer. Notably, MXene has a greater impact on cations distribution compared to anions. As the layer spacing of MXene expands from 1.5 to 3 nm, the interaction between MXene and IL weakens, while that between the cations and anions strengthens. The confined ILs enhance gas solubility capability but impede gas diffusion. CO<sub>2</sub> is distributed closer to anions, while CH<sub>4</sub> tends to be closer to cations, with the distance between CH<sub>4</sub> and cations decreasing as the layer spacing increases. Additionally, with the increase of layer distance, the proportion of confined ILs gradually decreases, and the gas diffusion coefficient gradually increases.

Upcycling aims to address plastic waste by finding innovative reuse strategies. By integrating waste plastic into new products and materials, upcycling supports a more sustainable and environmentally friendly economic model. This reduces the overall environmental footprint, including CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, associated with plastic consumption. Moreover, converting plastic waste into carbon nanotubes, can effectively sequester carbon. This means that carbon is captured and stored in a stable form, preventing its release into the atmosphere as CO<sub>2</sub>. This contributes directly to reducing net emissions. Recent interest in upcycling strategies includes producing target-oriented catalysts to reform plastic waste into carbon nanotubes embedded spent catalysts, offering potential for various applications. However, research in this area is scattered and lacks comprehensive conclusions. This review critically examines the use of spent catalysts from plastic waste pyrolysis and identifies their suitability for practical applications. It suggests focusing on the catalytic pyrolysis of plastic waste for target-oriented catalysts, as they offer good hydrogen yield and post-pyrolysis use in targeted applications. The unique structure of these catalysts enhances performance compared to commercial alternatives, but post-treatment is crucial to remove impurities for optimal performance. The upcycling of plastic waste into CNTs-metal composites substantially contributes to Sustainable Development Goals 7, 9, 12 and 13, by taking action to combat climate change and by guaranteeing access to affordable, clean, and sustainable energy.
