Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels and industry were 37.15 GtCO₂ in 2022, while these rose 1.1 percent in 2023 to reach a record high of 37.55 GtCO₂. Since 1990, overall global CO₂ emissions have increased by more than 60 percent, producing the well-known phenomena of climate change and global warming, with negative impacts on the Earth and human society.
Concerns have been recognized by world leaders and experts. As was the case, when Secretary General Antonio Guterres of the United Nations (UN) asserted, “We are in trouble. We are in deep trouble with climate change” at the 24th annual UN Climate Change Conference that took place in Poland in 2018.
A solution to these problems can be provided by carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies that can support the clean energy transition in several ways: tackling emissions from existing energy infrastructure, as a solution for some of the most challenging emissions, as a cost-effective pathway toward low-carbon hydrogen production, and by removing carbon from the atmosphere.
I am pleased to invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue on “Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) for Clean Energy”. The aim of this Special Issue is to disseminate research on this topic within the scientific community in order to propose important CCUS technologies for the clean energy transition, in agreement with the main scope of the journal.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome and research areas may include, but are not limited to:
- reviews of recent CCUS advancements;
- The modelling of CCUS technologies;
- Life cycle assessment of CCUS technologies;
- TEA of CCUS technologies;
- Experimental works on CCUS technologies.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Grazia Leonzio

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
