Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) capture is a global concern because of its effect on climate change especially as regards to global warming. Among greenhouse gases, CO 2 is the most abundant with high concentration released from post combustion processes into the atmosphere. For instance, the volume of CO 2 emission from thermal power plants, petroleum refineries, petrochemical plants, hydrogen and cement factories has become one of the top important global concerns nowadays. In order to capture post-combustion CO 2 and securely store it way or to produce useful products from it, it requires separation of CO 2 from flue gas stream. Industrially, it is generally accepted that the most appropriate method that can be applied commercially to capture CO 2 involves absorbing it with a reversible reaction from gas streams into aqueous amine especially monoethanolamine. Although, CO 2 -aqueous amine process is accepted as a mature technology but its absorption/desorption systems are the subject of several studies as the process is energy-intensive among other issues. In view of the shortfalls of CO 2 -aqueous amine systems and the greater societal concern to control the amount of CO 2 released to the environment from industrial sources to abate its effects, research for alternative viable solvent systems becomes of high interest to researchers as well as industrialists. Hence, this chapter is mainly to focus on highlighting and discussing relevant advanced solvent systems for CO 2 capture. Among the novel solvents or technology worthy of discussion here include use of organic solvents consisting of an amidine or a guanidine and a linear alcohol, such as 1-hexanol, instead of aqueous amines. In this case, CO 2 loaded solvent could be regenerated at 90-100°C which is much lower than the boiling point of the solvent and as a result, sufficient drop in energy requirements could be
