CO2 Capture and Renewable Energy
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid and global development of an energy sector based on renewables and green sources is critical for the decarbonization of energy in a climate-friendly scenario. Nevertheless, CO2 Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) remains necessary for abating CO2 emissions from many industrial sources that are hard or impossible to decarbonize otherwise. Furthermore, CO2 removal technologies, such as bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), direct air capture (DAC), CO2 mineralization, photosynthetic CO2 uptake by microalgae, etc., will also be necessary to reduce the high atmospheric concentration of CO2. This Topic will highlight the current status of CO2 capture and renewable energy in addition to the frontiers in these technological developments, as well as the future opportunities. We invite the submission of papers on innovative technical developments, reviews, case studies, analytical studies, as well as assessment papers from different disciplines, that are relevant to CCUS, BECCS, DAC, CO2 mineralization, CO2 uptake by microalgae, etc., and the combination of these with renewable energy production.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
i. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
ii. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
iii. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
iv. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
v. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
