Our team will be editing Wikipedia articles regarding absorption using liquid amine solvents in carbon capture and sequestration, namely (1) Amine gas treating, (2) Methyl diethanolamine, and (3) Piperazine. Focusing on their applications in carbon capture and sequestration, we will be updating each article with summaries of research that has been done and information as to what role each plays in the industrial sector and scale.

In the first article, it is only stated that there is interest in using amines for removing CO2 and a cross-link to CCS, so updates on already-implemented amine usage in CO2 absorption for capture on a large scale will be added. In the latter two, though the industrial uses of the solvents are mentioned, there is no information through which they would be associated with CCS, so details on processes and existing plants that utilize these solvents will be added.
