Advances in Catalysts for Efficient Carbon Capture

Dear Colleagues,

The world has a viable pathway to building a global energy sector with net-zero emissions in 2050, but this is narrow and requires an unprecedented transformation of how energy is produced, transported, and used globally. Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) are expected to play a significant role in achieving the goal of bringing global energy-related carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions to net zero by 2050. CCUS can facilitate the transition to net-zero CO₂ emissions by tackling emissions from existing assets, providing a way to address emissions from some of the most challenging sectors, providing a cost-effective pathway to scale up low-carbon hydrogen production rapidly, and allowing for CO₂ removal from the atmosphere through BECCS and DACCS.

To fully achieve the climate pledges, collaboration between research scientists and industrial partners in the areas of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) will be instrumental. Thus, this Special Issue on “Advances in Catalysts for Efficient Carbon Capture” is proposed aiming at the exhibition of cutting-edge research and potential application of technology for carbon capture. This Special Issue will focus on basic and applied research and development of technologies for carbon capture with the aid of catalysts.

Submit your paper and select the Journal “Catalysts” and the Special Issue “Advances in Catalysts for Efficient Carbon Capture” via: MDPI submission system. Please contact the Guest Editor or the journal editor ([email protected]) for any queries. Our papers will be published on a rolling basis and we will be pleased to receive your submission once you have finished it.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Catalysts is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
