1. A biphasic composition comprising:
a) at least one carbamate compound comprising a carbamate moiety of a primary amine or a secondary amine;
b) a Brønsted base wherein the Brønsted base is in the form of its conjugate acid, wherein the Brønsted base does not form a carbamate moiety with carbon dioxide;
c) about 5% to about 50% by weight of a water-soluble organic solvent, wherein the organic solvent comprises a glyme; and
d) about 5% to about 40% by weight of water;
wherein the biphasic composition has a CO2-rich phase and a CO2-lean phase;
wherein the rich phase comprises the highest % weight of water, the highest % weight of the carbamate compound, and the highest % weight of the conjugate acid; and the lean phase comprises the highest % weight of the organic solvent.
