Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to submit your scientific research to a Special Issue of Processes titled “Recent Technologies on CO2 Capture and (Photo)Electrochemical Utilization.” This Special Issue will encompass a wide range of cutting-edge research topics related to processes for CO2 capture and photoelectrochemical utilization. It will focus on recent advances in the current state of the art and their alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals and the ambitious objectives set forth in the recent 28th UN Climate Change Conference (COP28).

The aim of this Special Issue is to compile medium-sized review papers or original research articles showcasing pertinent and recent developments or achievements in CO2 capture and (photo)electrochemical utilization. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the utilization and development of both commercial and novel processes for CO2 capture (such as chemical absorption, pressure swing adsorption, and membrane technologies, among others) and (photo)electrochemical utilization applications, alongside life-cycle assessment and technoeconomic analysis of these processes. As such, we welcome both original research papers and review articles.

We are looking forward to receiving your contributions.

The large-scale integration of renewable energy sources is crucial for reducing carbon emissions. Integrating carbon trading mechanisms into electricity markets can further maximize this potential. However, the inherent uncertainty in renewable power generation poses significant challenges to effective decarbonization, renewable energy accommodation, and the security and cost efficiency of power system operations. In response to these challenges, this paper proposes a two-stage robust power dispatch model that incorporates carbon trading. This model is designed to minimize system operating costs, risk costs, and carbon trading costs while fully accounting for uncertainties in renewable energy output and the effects of carbon trading mechanisms. This model is solved using the column-and-constraint generation algorithm. Validation of an improved IEEE 39-bus system demonstrates its effectiveness, ensuring that dispatch decisions are both robust and cost-efficient. Compared to traditional dispatch models, the proposed model significantly reduces system risk costs, enhances the utilization of renewable energy, and, through the introduction of a ladder carbon trading mechanism, achieves substantial reductions in carbon emissions during system operation.
