Special Issue Information

As the pressing need to address climate change intensifies, there is a growing demand for innovative decarbonization technologies in various sectors, including agriculture, maritime transport, and heavy industries such as iron, steel, and chemicals. Among these technologies, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) methods stand out due to their potential to reduce industrial CO2 emissions by up to 50%. These methods encompass a diverse array of approaches, including Post-Combustion Capture, Pre-Combustion Capture, Oxyfuel Combustion, Chemical Absorption, Membrane Separation, Cryogenic Separation, Solid Adsorption, Algae-Based CO2 Utilization, Carbon Mineralization, Carbon-to-Chemicals, Carbon-to-Fuels, Carbon-to-Products, Geological Storage, Ocean Storage, and Mineralization, et al.

Nevertheless, the commercial feasibility and scalability of these technologies remain areas ripe for further exploration and development. Bearing this in mind, we are launching a special issue titled “Advances in CO2Capture, Utilization, and Storage.” This special issue aims to unlock the full potential of CCUS technology. We welcome submissions that cover a wide range of topics, from mechanistic studies and innovative conceptual frameworks to practical applications of CCUS technology in industrial processes.

We invite contributions that explore various facets of CCUS technology, with a particular emphasis on Original Research, Reviews, and Opinion articles. Within this Research Topic, we are especially interested in receiving submissions that focus on:

· Carbon capture

Post-Combustion Capture; Pre-Combustion Capture; Oxyfuel Combustion; Chemical Absorption; Membrane Separation; Cryogenic Separation; Solid Adsorption

· Carbon utilization

Algae-Based CO2 Utilization; Carbon Mineralization; Carbon-to-Chemicals; Carbon-to-Fuels; Carbon-to-Products

· Carbon storage

Geological Storage; Ocean Storage; Mineralization

We eagerly await submissions that will advance our understanding and application of CCUS technology.
