Carbon Capture Science and Technology (CCST), 2nd Volume
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
As CO2 is a major greenhouse gas, its increased emissions have led to global climate change and environmental pollution. To realize the economy's green, low-carbon, and sustainable development, carbon capture science and technology (CCST) is a vital and potentially effective route to substantially decrease CO2 emissions. Since the combustion of fossil fuels produces the majority of CO2 emissions, the most direct way is to capture and purify CO2 from emission sources (power plants, steel plants, etc.). In addition, removing or separating CO2 is also urgently important in chemical processes or specific occasions (fermentation plants, natural gas purification, biogas purification, sterile wards, etc.). Meanwhile, CO2 has huge applications in food processing, the electronic industry, enhanced oil recovery (EOR), enhanced coal bed methane (ECBM), and other fields. Therefore, CCST has great scientific significance and engineering application value for environmental protection, energy development, and industrial production.
This Topic is oriented toward experimental research and theoretical analysis of phenomena related to pre-combustion and post-combustion carbon capture, materials- and chemistry-related carbon capture science, environmental, social, and political analysis of carbon capture technologies, CO2 Capture Process, CO2 utilization other than EOR and mineralization, as well as other research related to carbon emission reduction. Of particular interest are articles addressing issues encountered in CO2 capture and storage technologies developments, the effective and economical use of CO2, lifecycle assessments, and techno-economic analyses to evaluate the various CCST processes. Please contact the editors if you have questions or wish to discuss an idea.
