Carbon Capture and Storage: Latest Advances and Prospects

Dear Colleagues,

With the great economic development and numerous causes of fossil fuel consumption, the rapid increase in excessive carbon emission has become an urgent issue faced by the world. High CO₂ emissions lead to serious environmental and climate problems such as global warming. The Paris Agreement established ambitious climate goals for the world’s countries. To meet the carbon-neutral vision, decarbonation techniques were needed and encouraged. Carbon capture and storage was one of the most effective methods to reduce carbon emissions. It includes the technologies of greenhouse gas capture from fossil-fuel-fired power stations, refineries, chemical plants, etc. Technologies of carbon storage in different media, such as deep saline aquifers, oil and gas reservoirs, coal beds, deep oceans, and so on, also need comprehensively studying.

This Special Issue provides an overview of the latest advances and prospects in the referred topics and contributes to the carbon capture and storage experimental and theoretical investigations. We therefore invite the submission of papers on innovative technical developments, reviews, case studies, analytical studies, and assessment papers from different disciplines, which are relevant to carbon capture methods, CO₂ emission distribution, carbon storage mechanisms, underground and in oceans, carbon source and sink matching, CO₂-enhanced oil and gas recovery, CO₂-assisted natural gas hydrates, and coal bed methane development topics.

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.
