Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon capture, utilization, and storage stands as a cornerstone technology in the global fight against climate change, offering transformative solutions to decarbonize industries, mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, and accelerate progress toward net zero targets. This Special Issue seeks to consolidate cutting-edge research, policy insights and practical innovations in CCUS, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue to address technical, economic, and societal challenges. By bridging gaps between academia, industry, and policymakers, we aim to catalyze actionable strategies that scale CCUS from pilot project to global deployment. We invite original research, reviews, case studies, and policy analyses addressing:
- Technological innovations: novel capture methods (e.g., Advanced solvents, membranes, DAC), utilization pathways, (eg. CO2- to chemicals, mineralization, and advanced materials), and secure storage solutions (e.g., saline aquifers, enhanced oil recovery).
- Economic and policy frameworks: carbon pricing mechanisms, subsidy models, risk assessment, and international collaboration strategies.
- Environmental and social considerations: lifecycle analysis, public acceptance, and integrating CCUS with circular economy principles.
- Cross section integration: CCUS application in power generation, heavy industries, hydrogen production and bioenergy with caron capture.
This collection seeks to foster dialogue among researchers, industry stakeholders and policymaker to accelerate transition of CCUS from pilot projects to global implementation. Let your research drive the transition from theory to practice, from ambition to impact. Together, we can turn carbon challenges into climate solutions. Submit your work today and be part of the CCUS revolution!

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.
