AB  - The increase in the concentrations of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) which includes Carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) as the main GHG is considered one of the most important environmental problems for this reason, opportunities
must be identified to improve carbon capture and management. The objective of this research is to present an
approach to the topic of carbon capture and storage (CAC), analyzing the Colombian thermoelectric sector and
looking at the existing opportunities for its possible application. This is done through a literature review that
includes topics from environmental management and carbon management to fossil fuel-based energy generation
and capture, likewise, a review is made of recent reports on climate change and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions ending with the 
implementation of a CO<sub>2</sub> capture system in a power generation project located in the Zulia area, in the 
Department of Norte de Santander (Colombia). In the results we find that Colombia does not currently have
long-term solutions for carbon management in the energy sector based on fossil fuel. Likewise, the evaluation
of the implementation of a CAC system could be developed for those plants that are located near industries that
require significant amounts of CO<sub>2</sub> and/or in the vicinity of areas that have the potential and geological 
characteristics required to store the CO<sub>2</sub> captured.
