Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The second edition of this Energies Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Carbon Capture and Storage and Renewable Energy Systems: 2nd Edition”, aims to build upon the success of the first edition, further advancing the discourse on the topic. This edition will gather cutting-edge research on carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) and renewable energy systems.
To achieve net-zero targets by the middle of the century, it is essential to employ combinations of low-carbon and renewable energy technologies in different sectors, including the energy, residential, transportation, and industry sectors, among others. Net zero is all about ‘balancing’ or cancelling out any carbon we produce from a product or service; we reach net zero when the amount of greenhouse gas we produce is no more than the amount taken away. This Special Issue is seeking advanced research on carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) and renewable energy systems. Furthermore, it seeks contributions of different net-zero scenarios showcasing the achievement of carbon neutrality targets and the meeting of energy sustainability standards by 2050.
This Special Issue focuses on alternative carbon-neutral fuels, with particular attention to hydrogen, e-fuels, and sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs). These fuels are increasingly recognized for their importance in reducing emissions from sectors where direct electrification is difficult, such as aviation, maritime transport, and heavy industry. By exploring recent advancements in production, storage, utilization, infrastructure, and policy, the Issue aims to highlight the transformative potential of these fuels in achieving global net-zero targets.
