**Preface to "New Trends in Catalysis for Sustainable CO2 Conversion"**

The challenge of overcoming climate change and limiting global temperature increase has raised interest in carbon dioxide storage (CCS) and utilization (CCU) technologies. CCS technologies pursue the long-term storage of large amounts of CO2 of anthropogenic nature (emitted by the industry, combustion processes for energy production and vehicles) after its capture.

On the other hand, CCU technologies are more intriguing as methods. In this approach, CO2 is not considered a waste, but is used as a feed for producing value-added products. Among the CCU routes, the catalytic conversion stands out. Nonetheless, there is still significant demand for research into this field, as for example in the following areas:
