Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mitigating global climate change while creating economic opportunities and providing affordable, secure, resilient, and reliable clean energy is one of the preeminent challenges the world is facing. Advancing no- and low-carbon energy technologies to help meet these challenges will be the primary aim of our generation. Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies provide a key pathway to address this urgency, especially considering that fossil fuels will continue to have a major role in global energy consumption during the transition to cleaner alternatives. Decarbonisation, especially in CO2-intensive industries, is not possible without CCUS. However, its widespread deployment will require continued improvements in cost and performance. Stronger and clearer policies are needed to further activate the market and encourage government and industry to further invest in developing supply chains, infrastructures around them, and continued R&D activities.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to CO2 capture and sequestration technology, CO2 utilisation technology, techno-economic and life cycle assessment, and regulatory and policy issues.
Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to:
- All aspects of technologies related to CO2 capture;
- All aspects of technologies related to CO2 utilisation:
- Thermal chemical CO2 conversion: CO2 to CH4, methanol, and other high hydrocarbons
- CO2 mineralisation
- Photocatalytic CO2 conversion
- Plasma enhanced CO2 conversion
- Biological CO2 conversion#
- CO2 sequestration;
- Regulatory and policy issues;
- Economic and environmental benefits and impacts such as techno-economic and life cycle assessment.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
