Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology has made significant progress in reducing CO2 emissions in recent years, but its large-scale application is hindered by high energy consumption and high complexity. To enhance energy utilization efficiency, integrated of carbon capture and utilization (ICCU) has emerged as a promising research focus. ICCU process enables the capture and in situ conversion of CO2 via dual-functional materials (DFM), converting the captured CO2 directly into economically valuable chemicals with high efficiency. Compared with the conventional CCUS technologies, ICCU significantly simplifies processes such as desorption, compression, and transportation, demonstrating substantial potential for large-scale application. This review focuses on ICCU-methanation (ICCU-Met) process, first providing a systematic introduction to the process and a thermodynamic analysis of its feasibility. Then, the DFMs used in ICCU-Met are discussed intensively, their performance is compared in terms of CO2 capture capacity, catalytic activity, and stability. The review also critically examines the scaling-up challenges of ICCU-Met technology in practical applications, including issues such as the effects of real-world flue gas conditions, reactor design, and economic feasibility. Finally, the review summarizes the developmental bottlenecks of this process and proposes potential research directions for the future.
