Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The incessant consumption of energy has negative effects on the environment. Carbon dioxide is the dominant anthropogenic greenhouse gas responsible for global warming. To reduce these potential risks, two main technologies of carbon capture and safe storage are necessary. Mineral carbonation is an established CCS technique that can halt CO2 emissions.
While the benefits of mineral carbonation are clear today, the effectiveness of this technology is still limited, and improvements are required in areas such as logistics, energy pretreatments, kinetics and scalability, disposal, safety, and so on. Therefore, this is clearly an environmental issue that needs further investigation.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
