Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Decarbonization of the electricity generation and industrial sectors (such as cement, steel, refineries, etc.) is a key objective for mitigating climate change and limiting global warming to 1.5°C by 2050. Despite advancements in renewable energy, many industrial processes still rely on fossil fuels, highlighting the urgent need for effective technological solutions. In this context, Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) emerges as one of the most promising strategies for significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. CO2 capture has generated growing interest within the scientific community due to its multidisciplinary nature and the pressing need to develop processes that are both energy-efficient and economically viable. Furthermore, utilizing captured CO2 as a feedstock for the production of value-added products, such as chemicals or sustainable fuels, offers a significant opportunity to advance research into novel catalytic applications while avoiding the extraction of additional fossil resources. This Special Issue will compile innovative publications from leading researchers across various disciplines, focusing on the latest advances in CO2 capture technologies, including process modeling, reactor design, process optimization, and advanced materials, in order to provide new perspectives for the development of sustainable industrial solutions.

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.
