CO₂ Capture and Renewable Energy

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.
