Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The high concentration of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere and the resulting environmental issues (such as global warming) are some of the major challenges that modern society face today. To cope with the global climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has pointed out that the increase in the global average temperature should be controlled to within 1.5 °C compared to pre-industrial temperatures. In order to reach this goal, the scientific community and researchers have proposed various Carbon Capture Utilization (CCU) technologies for deep decarbonisation, which are capable of using the waste CO2 as alternative carbon sources to produce value-added products. The aim of the Special Issue is to publish innovative research towards remarkable contributions in CCU. The research includes experimental work, theoretical work, and analytical models and simulations. The potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Materials for CO2 adsorption and activation;
- CO2 capture process simulation for energy consumption reduction;
- CO2 conversion to high-valued and green chemicals, fuels, and materials;
- Integrated process for CCU technologies;
- Technical analysis and systems-level optimization;
- Economic analysis and cost reduction strategies;
- Environmental impacts and life-cycle assessment;
- Multi-criteria sustainability evaluation.

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. Atmosphere is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
