CO₂ Capture, Utilization, and Storage

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue of the journal ChemEngineering dedicated to “CO₂ Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS)”. CCUS has the potential to address the vast majority of anthropogenic CO₂ emissions. However, significant advances in materials, processes and supply chains are required towards developing cost-effective, scalable CO₂ capture, utilization and storage technologies across industrial sectors. In this context, this issue aims to gather novel developments in the field of CCUS. Topics include advances in the following areas, but are not limited to them:

• Enabling methods and tools:
  • Computer-aided design, optimization, control and integration of CCUS processes, technologies, and supply chains
  • Molecular systems engineering for CCUS
  • Multiscale methods for CCUS
• Enabling technologies for cost-effective, scalable CCUS:
  • Process development for absorption, adsorption, membrane, etc.
  • Unconventional technologies for CO₂ capture, utilization, and storage
  • CCUS Process intensification
  • Materials (solvent, adsorbent, membrane, ionic liquids, etc.) design, discovery and screening
  • Integrated carbon capture and utilization
  • Flexible carbon capture
• CCUS implementation—outlook, challenges, solutions, case studies:
  • Integration of renewables in CCUS
  • CCUS under uncertainty
  • Techno-economic, life cycle analysis
  • Geospatial and temporal considerations in CCUS
  • Water-energy-CO₂ nexus
  • Applications illustrating recent advances and/or outstanding research gaps in the above areas

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. ChemEngineering 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 1600 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.
