    Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology as a key solution is going to receive more attention in addressing the impacts of climate change, which are consistently getting worse. A thorough understanding of the CCS process is provided here, detailing important aspects influencing its performance and identifying barriers to the widespread commercialization of carbon capture along with potential pathways for advancement. This study utilizes an integrated data analytical approach to investigate the multiple factors affecting the storage capacity of CCS sites, including reservoir geo-storage properties, physicochemical characteristics of CO2, and petrophysical features of rock.This study examines how upland and wet prairie soil storage affects N2 fixation in response to experimental conditions, versus those under field conditions, provides strategies for optimal storage methodologies that could be adopted by others investigating these kinds of questions. In addition, we explore the most recent developments in CCS technology. The relevance of our findings consist in the importance to precise design and parameter control for improved CCS performance and reliability. Although real-world obstacles, such as costs and public acceptance still remain a hurdle for the technology being further implemented at room scale, monitoring technologies, evaluation methodologies and CO2 capture/conversion strategies continue to adapt in novel ways. Ongoing and future research avenues, such as the development of monitoring technologies, new possibilities for evaluating long-term storage impacts, and promoting better CO2 capture and conversion methods, will also be discussed.. This landmark study not only offers valuable insight on the emerging CCS technology landscape but may ultimately be crucial to advancing such commercial viability, and consequentially achieving international carbon neutrality ambitions.
