**Preface to "Carbon Dioxide Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS)"**

With the rapid growth of the world economy, carbon dioxide emissions are increasing year by year. Currently, the increase in anthropogenic emissions of CO<sup>2</sup> is identified as a major contributor to global warming. In order to meet the emission reduction target and achieve near-zero CO<sup>2</sup> emissions by 2050, it is particularly necessary and urgent to accelerate CO<sup>2</sup> research.

Carbon dioxide capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology is considered to be one of the solutions in the near to medium term, and is gaining much attention and rapid development worldwide, while playing a key role in mitigating climate change. This Special Issue on "Carbon Dioxide Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS)" invites articles on the latest technologies and new developments in CCUS, including but not limited to pre-combustion carbon capture; post-combustion carbon capture; oxyfuel or chemical cycle combustion; conversion of CO<sup>2</sup> to synthetic fuels; biomass thermal conversion; storage of CO<sup>2</sup> BECCUS; and other abatement technologies.

We sincerely thank everyone who has helped.
