The search for suitable materials for carbon dioxide capture and storage has attracted the attention of the scientific community in view of the increased global CO2 levels and its after-effects. Among the different materials under research, porous carbons and their doped analogues are extensively debated for their ability to store carbon dioxide at high pressures. The present paper examined high-pressure carbon dioxide storage studies of 1-D hexagonal and 3-D cubic ordered mesoporous pristine and N-doped carbons prepared using the nano-casting method. Excess carbon dioxide sorption isotherms were obtained using the volumetric technique and were fitted using the Toth model. Various parameters that influence CO2 storage on metal-free ordered mesoporous carbons, such as the effect of pore size, pore dimension, pyrolysis temperature, the impact of nitrogen substitution, and the effect of ammonia activation are discussed. It was observed that the carbon dioxide storage capacity has an inverse relation to the total nitrogen doped, the amount of pyridinic nitrogen functionality, and the pyrolysis temperature, whereas the pore size seems to have a linear relationship. On the other hand, the presence of oxygen has a positive effect on the sorption capacity. Among the prepared ordered mesoporous carbons, the ammonia-treated one has shown the highest adsorption capacity of 37.8 mmol g−1 at 34 bar and 0 °C.
