Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
Under the goal of carbon neutrality, the vigorous development of carbon dioxide capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) technology is not only a strategic choice for reducing carbon dioxide emissions and guaranteeing energy security in the future, but also an important means of building an ecological civilisation and achieving sustainable development.
The realisation of carbon neutrality requires the establishment of a zero-carbon energy system dominated by non-fossil energy sources, and the decoupling of economic development from carbon emissions. CCUS technology, as an important part of the technological portfolio for realising the carbon neutrality goal, is not only the only technological option for the low-carbon utilisation of fossil energy sources, but also a feasible technological solution for hard-to-reduce industries such as iron, steel, cement, and so on. In addition, the negative emission technology of CCUS coupled with renewable energy can offset the carbon emissions that cannot be cut, which is the bottom-up technology guarantee to achieving the carbon neutral target.
The development of CCUS technology cannot be separated from the progress of CO2 capture/conversion materials. This topic aims to introduce and disseminate CO2 capture/conversion materials with high activity, stability, and tolerance, so as to facilitate low-cost and high-efficiency CO2 capture and utilization, and further promote the commercial application of CCUS technology.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- CO2 absorption;
- CO2 adsorption;
- Calcium looping;
- Chemical looping;
- Direct air capture (DAC);
- Membrane separation for carbon capture;
- CO2 thermal catalytic conversion;
- CO2 photocatalytic conversion;
- CO2 electrocatalytic conversion;
- Integrated carbon capture and utilisation (ICCU).

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. 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.
