Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Negative emissions are required to meet net zero. Efforts are increasing worldwide to move away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energy. New technologies are being invented, and existing technologies are being improved to make them economically viable and environmentally acceptable. In order to meet the targets of greenhouse gas emissions reduction and to keep the global temperature rise below 2 °C, all the available technologies have to play their role.
Without carbon capture with utilisation, the storage costs of decarbonisation will increase significantly. Carbon capture is a broad subject involving a number of technologies at different levels of development that have their own pros and cons. Energies has launched a Special Issue titled “Carbon Capture and Storage in the Era of Clean Energy”, covering, but not limited to, all aspects of CCUS listed below:
- Biomass combustion and gasification with CCS;
- Innovative concepts for syngas quality improvement with CCS;
- Water gas shift and reverse water gas shift catalysis in the context of CO2 utilisation;
- Fischer-Tropsch process improvement, new catalysts and concepts in relation to CO2 utilisation;
- Conventional and new carbon-capture technologies;
- Pre-combustion and post-combustion capture;
- New solvents for CO2 capture;
- Process and technological improvements;
- Practical issues and mitigations;
- Intensified processes in carbon capture;
- Impact of volatile metals and particulates in biomass flue gases on the capture process.
You are invited to submit scientific research papers to the Special Issue. Manuscripts covering all technology readiness levels, ranging from concept stage to demonstration and deployment, are welcome.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
