An apparatus and a method for recovering CO2 are provided in which an energy efficiency is improved. The apparatus for recovering CO2 includes a flow path for returning extracted, temperature risen semi-lean solution into a regeneration tower wherein at least a part of the semi-lean solution obtained by removing a partial CO2 from a rich solution infused in a regeneration tower from an upper part of the regeneration tower is extracted, raised its temperature by heat exchanging with a high-temperature waste gas in a gas duct of an industrial facility such as a boiler, and then returned into the regeneration tower.
