Declining or Waning
- Traditional Fossil Fuel Applications:
Research focused solely on carbon capture from traditional fossil fuel power plants has decreased, as there is a growing emphasis on renewable energy sources and integrated energy systems. - Basic Theoretical Models:
The prevalence of purely theoretical models without practical applications or experimental validation appears to be diminishing, as the field moves towards more applied research with real-world implications. - Single-Sector Focus Studies:
Studies that concentrate on carbon capture in a single sector (e.g., power generation) are becoming less common as researchers adopt more integrated approaches that consider multiple sectors and their interactions. - Static Risk Assessments:
Static assessments of leakage risks without considering dynamic geological processes are declining, as newer studies incorporate real-time monitoring and adaptive management strategies. - Limited Geographical Scope:
Research confined to localized studies without broader implications or comparative analyses across different regions is decreasing, as the field seeks to understand global trends and impacts.
