Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second edition in a series of publications dedicated to “Advances in CO2 Capture and Absorption” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/atmosphere/special_issues/2MWMQ74126).
The unexpected amount of CO2 emissions due to anthropogenic activities is the main reason for global warming. The growing severity of climate change urges that more efforts are needed in order to reduce CO2 release into the atmosphere. Anthropogenic CO2 emissions mainly come from the combustion of fossil fuels for power generation. Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is considered an effective technology to curb CO2 emissions in the industry. Carbon capture is a crucial sector of CCUS technology, and developing efficient carbon capture methods is the primary challenge faced by it. The most used CO2 absorption method in the industry is the alkanolamine-based scrubbing process. However, it suffers from several inherent drawbacks, such as the high energy cost of regeneration and solvent degradations. Therefore, it is highly desirable to develop and create new methods for efficient CO2 capture and absorption.
The aim of this Special Issue is to showcase the recent research results related to efficient carbon capture technology. In it, experimental and theoretical investigations focusing on economic and ecological methods related to carbon capture are welcome. Submissions to this Special Issue may include, but are not limited to, the following: the capture of carbon dioxide with liquid solvents; the capture of carbon dioxide with solid materials; the separation of carbon dioxide with membranes; carbon storage; and carbon utilization.

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.
