Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In 2014, the EU agreed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels across all sectors of the economy. This was the basis of the EU commitment on climate change: the Paris Agreement, signed by 195 countries. The European Commission aims to make Europe climate-neutral (net-zero carbon dioxide emissions) by the mid-21st century (2050) through the European Climate Law that sets climate neutrality in binding EU legislation. This treaty sets targets for various energy-intensive sectors that significantly contribute to CO2 emissions.

In recognition of these targets set by the EU, the open access journal Atmosphere is hosting a Special Issue to showcase the most recent findings related to CO2 capture, utilization and storage. With the recent expansion of research showing that the CO2 technologies are a feasible solution to reduce the CO2 emissions and achieve climate neutrality. This Special Issue is also an appropriate venue for papers that deal with CO2 utilization and CO2 storage. Ultimately, this Special Issue aims to showcase the most recent comparable evidence on the impact of CO2 capture and how the captured/pure CO2 can be used to produce high added-value products.

Contributions of original results are welcome, from field and controlled investigations, subjective surveys, models and review papers related to carbon capture, storage and utilization (CCUS) technology, including the following research topics:

  • Design and optimization of CCUS processes;
  • Production of products from captured CO2;
  • New CO2 capture technology;
  • CCUS technologies to climate neutrality;
  • Process simulation of CCUS;
  • CCUS policies

Authors are encouraged to include a section touching on future issues, opportunities, and/or concerns related to their topics, on the 5-, 10-, and 20-year horizons.

LiTiO2 was prepared from tetraethoxy titanium and lithium ethoxide by a sol–gel process and then treated at 773 K and 973 K under oxygen atmosphere, respectively. Compared with LiTiO2 prepared at 973 K, LiTiO2 prepared at 773 K has better [...] Read more.
LiTiO2 was prepared from tetraethoxy titanium and lithium ethoxide by a sol–gel process and then treated at 773 K and 973 K under oxygen atmosphere, respectively. Compared with LiTiO2 prepared at 973 K, LiTiO2 prepared at 773 K has better CO2 capture properties. XRD patterns of synthetic LiTiO2 before and after CO2 capture confirm that the intermediate product, LixTizO2, is produced during CO2 capture. CO2 absorption degree of LiTiO2 was determined to be 37% (293 K), 40.8% (333 K), 45.5% (373 K), and 50.1% (393 K) for 11.75 h, respectively. Repetitive CO2 capture experiment indicates that LiTiO2 has excellent cyclic regeneration behavior. The CO2 absorption degree of LiTiO2 increased with increasing CO2 concentration. At a concentration of 0.05%, the absorption degree of LiTiO2 had a stable value of 1% even after an absorption time of 1.4 h. LiBO2 was fabricated by the similar sol–gel method and treated at 713 K. Mass percentage and specific surface area of synthesized LiBO2 increased with the increasing absorption temperature. Evidently, the diffusion of the CO2 molecule through the reaction product, which had a low activation energy of 15 kJ·mol−1 and apparent specific surface value of 55.63 m2/g, determined the efficiency of the absorption reaction. Compared with the other sol–gel synthesized lithium-based oxides, LiTiO2 possessed higher absorption capabilities and lower desorption temperature. Full article

In this work, the impact of TiO2 properties on the CO2 adsorption properties of titanium dioxide modified with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) was presented. The APTES-modified TiO2 materials were obtained by solvothermal process and thermal modification in the argon atmosphere. The prepared adsorbents were characterized by various techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (DRIFT), thermogravimetric analysis and BET specific surface area measurement. CO2adsorption properties were measured at different temperatures (0, 30, 40, 50 and 60 °C). Additionally, the carbon dioxide cyclic adsorption-desorption measurements were also investigated. The results revealed that modifying TiO2 with APTES is an efficient method of preparing CO2 sorbents. It was found that the CO2 adsorption capacity for the samples after modification with APTES was higher than the sorption capacity for unmodified sorbents. The highest sorption capacity reached TiO2-4 h-120 °C-100 mM-500 °C sample. It was also found that the CO2 adsorption capacity shows excellent cyclic stability and regenerability after 21 adsorption-desorption cycles. Full article

Fossil-fueled power plants are a major source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission and the membrane process is a promising technology for CO2 removal and mitigation. This study aims to develop optimal membrane-based carbon capture systems to enhance the sustainability of fossil-fuel power plants by reducing their energy consumption and operating costs. The multi-stage membrane process is numerically modeled using Aspen Custom Modeler based on the solution-diffusion mechanism and then the effects of important operating and design parameters are investigated. Multi-objective process optimization is then carried out by linking Aspen Plus with MATLAB and using an evolutionary technique to determine optimal operating and design conditions. The results show that, as the CO2 concentration in the feed gas increases, the CO2 capture cost significantly decreases and CO2 removal is enhanced, although the process energy demand slightly increases. The best possible trade-offs between objective functions are reported and analyzed, which confirm the considerable potential for improving the sustainability of the process. The CO2 capture cost and energy penalty of the process is as low as 13.1 $/tCO2 and 10% at optimal design and operating conditions. This study provides valuable insight into membrane separation and can be used by decision-makers for the sustainable improvement of fossil-fueled power plants. Full article

With the proposal of China’s national “double carbon” strategic goal, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology has attracted more and more attention. Due to the high cost, high energy consumption and high risk of CCUS technology, this technology is still in the initial stage of development in China. Among them, CO2 geological storage is one of the risks, and the environmental monitoring technology of CO2 storage leakage is particularly important in the large-scale popularization and application of CCUS technology in China. On the basis of extensive research on the related literature concerning CO2 storage and leakage, this paper begins with the types and mechanisms of CO2 storage, analyzes the ways and risks of CO2 storage and leakage and then summarizes the existing environmental monitoring technologies of CO2 geological storage and leakage. In the future, China can promote the progress of CO2 geological storage monitoring technology and help achieve the goal of “double carbon” by strengthening the research on CO2 storage mechanism and main control factors, perfecting the risk assessment method of CO2 storage, constructing the monitoring technology system of the CO2 storage life cycle, and standardizing the CO2 storage risk response system.
