Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The need to decrease current CO2 emissions due to human activity is clear, as it has critical consequences for the environment. This has prompted research on alternatives to fossil fuel use as well as technologies to capture CO2 and its utilization. There are several strategies that have been studied, such as increasing the efficiency of the current process, using carbon-neutral sources, or capturing the CO2 produced to either store or use it.
Considering this, the aim of this Special Issue is to cover the recent state-of-the-art technology on CO2 and biomass conversion.
With this Special Issue, we welcome original contributions in the fields of biomass and CO2 conversion. The coverage of this Special Issue includes but is not limited to, the following:
- The catalytic conversion of CO2;
- Biomass conversion.
