Carbon Dioxide Capture or Removal and Valorisation: Advances in the Development of Materials and Technologies

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The energetic transition requires the replacement of fossil fuels with renewable energy sources, along with the development of innovative decarbonation technologies and the establishment of a circular economy model. Developing and deploying carbon capture (from fixed sources) or removal (from the atmosphere) technologies using innovative CO₂ capture materials and CO₂ valorization in short- or long-lived biofuels or green products are essential to reach carbon neutrality or negative emissions targets. This Special Topic, “Carbon Dioxide Capture or Removal and Valorisation: Advances in the Development of Materials and Technologies”, will address topics related, but not limited to:

• Advances in CO₂ sorbent properties for carbon removal (e.g., direct air capture, mineralization, biochar) and capture (e.g., post-combustion and pre-combustion conditions);
• Enhancement of natural and synthetic sorbent materials properties for CO₂ uptake;
• Stability, activity, and regeneration of sorbents under different technological applications at low, medium, or high temperatures;
• Dual-function materials for CO₂ capture and conversion;
• Development of catalysts for CO₂ conversion to biofuels and green products;
• Thermal-, photo-, electro-, bio- and plasma catalysis applications in CO₂ conversion;
• Carbon capture from power plants and industrial sectors and carbon removal from the air—novel technologies, integrated concepts, and methodologies;
• Conversion of CO₂ into fuels and chemicals through biological, thermal, electrochemical, and photochemical processes. In this topic, original papers or reviews are welcome.
