<p>The rise in global industrial production is leading to a rapid increase in carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, which in turn have detrimental environmental effects. This study focuses on modern technologies, including carbon capture, as a potential solution, providing substantial benefits to address this problem. Graphene-based CO₂ capture technology offers a practical, durable, and economically viable solution, with high conductivity and scalability, making it more attractive than other carbon reduction technologies. By leveraging the exceptional properties of different graphene materials, including graphene oxide, nanosheets, and composites, it is possible to develop efficient systems for capturing CO₂. Furthermore, the research examines the life cycle assessment technique and highlights its importance in assessing the environmental impacts of capturing and storing carbon. This paper addresses challenges related to energy consumption and scalability, while also examining emerging trends in graphene manufacturing, hybrid materials, and technological advancements. Finally, the potential of graphene-based materials in carbon capture for climate change mitigation is explored, emphasizing the importance of further research, innovative strategies, and collaborative efforts to accelerate their integration into global climate change initiatives.</p> Graphical abstract <p></p>
