Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past few centuries, the heavy use of fossil fuels has brought large amounts of CO2 emissions, which causes severe environmental issues such as global warming and climate change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has pointed out that the world would have to achieve carbon neutrality by early mid-century to limit global warming to 1.5 oC above pre-industrial levels. Hence, it is vital to find deep decarbonization ways. The scientific community has proposed two feasible options, namely carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon capture and utilization (CCU). The aim of this special issue is to publish innovative research towards remarkable contribution for CO2 reduction. The research includes experimental work, theoretical work, analytical models and process simulations. The potential topics include, but not limited to:
- Materials for CO2 adsorption and activation;
- Heterogenous and homogeneous catalytic conversion involving CO2 (e.g., thermal, electrochemical and photochemical catalytic conversion);
- Biological conversion of CO2;
- CO2 capture process simulation for energy consumption reduction;
- CO2 conversion into high-value products such as chemicals and fuels;
- Integrated process for CCS and CCU;
- Economic analysis and cost reduction strategies;
- Environmental impacts and life-cycle assessment of CCS and CCU.

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. 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.
