Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the second edition of our Special Issue, entitled “CO2 Sequestration, Capture and Utilization” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/atmosphere/special_issues/CO2_Sequestration_Capture_Utilization).
With the progress that is being made in industrialization, large amounts of fossil energy are being burned, and forest areas are reducing. These factors have led to increased emissions of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide and the worsening of global warming, making this an extremely serious environmental challenge for all of humanity to face. In recent years, countries have become aware of the severity of the greenhouse effect, and in 2016, the Paris Agreement was signed, which aims to reduce CO2 emissions and thus improve the living environment for humankind. Carbon capture, storage, and utilization (CCUS) technology can adsorb, fix, and utilize emitted CO2, meaning that released CO2 can be separated from industrial exhaust and other emission sources and then stored or reused for a long time. Therefore, CCUS technology can be highly effective in reducing CO2 emissions and mitigating the greenhouse effect.
This Special Issue welcomes the submission of reviews and research papers related to CO2 capture, storage, and utilization technologies, focusing on the following topics:
- Design, development, or optimization of CO2 capture, storage, and utilization processes;
- New CO2 adsorption materials (e.g., activated carbon, molecular sieves, MOFs, etc.);
- Novel catalysts for CO2 utilization (e.g., photocatalysts, electrocatalysts, or thermocatalysts);
- Novel CO2 separation materials (e.g., membrane materials, ionic solutions, etc.);
- New CO2 sequestration technology;
- CO2 reduction policies.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Atmosphere 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 2400 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.
