Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Low-carbon and zero-carbon metallurgy stands at the forefront of sustainable industrial transformation, representing a pivotal shift for the future of the metal and material industry. This Special Issue seeks high-quality feature papers that provide insights into and highlight the latest scientific and technological advancements in developing and scaling low- and zero-carbon metallurgical processes. We welcome contributions that span fundamental research, process innovation, and system integration, with applications across ferrous, non-ferrous, and critical metal production. As Guest Editors of this Special Issue, we cordially invite you to submit your recent work, including original research manuscripts and comprehensive review articles that significantly advance our understanding of these transformative technologies.
