Challenges and Research Trends of Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS)

Dear Colleagues,

In addition to the development of strategies and technologies focused on the reduction in green-house gas emissions, the storage of those compounds represents a key factor to reach the main goals fixed in occasion of COP26 in terms of environment preservation and mitigation of the global climate change.

This Special Issue of Energies aims to collect relevant scientific contributions in the field of green-house gas capture and storage, with particular attention to carbon dioxide. Innovative solutions for gas storage, optimization of energy saving, reduction in costs associated to the processes, as well as utilization of proper and innovative “host” materials for gas storage are only some of the scientific topics that we will take into account.

We will also consider works focused on the reuse of these gases, in order to produce a second energetic cycle with the same final quantity of waste gas produced. In this sense, we will consider topics as methanation, power-to-gas and others.

Papers addressing any of these specific topics are welcome.

Dr. Alberto Maria Gambelli
Guest Editor
