Abstract In this work, plane tree seed-based activated carbons (AC) were used for possible application in carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) technology. After carbonization process at 850 °C, resulting preliminary AC’s were activated at various temperatures. The high levels of the growth in basal planes of graphite structure in carbonized sample were detected. Also, it was found that the samples activated at 750 and 850 °C have a lower graphitization degree and contained substantially disordered sections and defects, which are characteristic of typical amorphous porous carbons. Process modeling has shown that the CO2 sorption can be described by multi-parametric continuous distributed reactivity model. Analysis showed the occurrence of gas reduction process, involving gibberellic acid and coenzymes which can produce the methane gas. The highly ordered arrangement of the gas molecules on the carbons was assumed.
