CO₂ Capture and Sequestration

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue (SI) entitled CO₂ Capture and Sequestration (CCS).

CCS aims to reduce global warming by capturing carbon dioxide (CO₂) from large point sources (e.g., fossil fuel power plants), separating the CO₂ and storing it in suitable media using the latest developments in engineering principles.

CO₂ is captured using a variety of technologies that include processes such as absorption, adsorption, and membrane gas separation, among others. The choice, design, modeling and optimization, and tuning/control of material properties for CO₂ capture, as well as the processes themselves, are important.

The different methods used for CO₂ sequestration include (i) geological-sequestration that injects different phases of CO₂ in the subsurface (ii) oceanic storage that dissolves CO₂ into an ocean at different depths and (iii) solid-phase reaction of CO₂ with metal oxides to produce stable carbonates with no risk of CO₂ release to the atmosphere. Flow, transport, and reaction of CO₂ during sequestration, as well as other related matters, such as the monitoring of key environmental parameters, are important.

I welcome your contributions on topics that address/relate to any of the above CCS sub-topics.

If sufficient numbers of papers (≥10) are published in the planned SI, then an edited book containing the published papers will be released.

I look forward to your active participation in this endeavor and receiving your contributions. Both review and research papers are welcome.

Dr. Diganta Bhusan Das

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. Clean Technologies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
