Decarbonization Technologies: Toward a Net-Zero Sustainable Future
Decarbonization Technologies are vital in scientific advancements to meet the roadmap towards net-zero future by 2050. It is thus important to explore the current research to understand progress in low carbon emitting technologies, carbon-capture, challenges, and future directions, to meet the timeline of net-zero future. This special issue of APL Energy aims to bring together the most recent technological advancements in the four broad categories that comprise decarbonization: Energy Generation (minimal carbon footprint power generation), Energy Storage, Emission Reduction (electrification, energy efficient electronics, next generation fuel technologies), and Emission Capture (carbon capture technologies).
Topics covered include, but are not limited to:
- Sustainable Materials for Energy Applications
- Policy and Environmental Impact Studies for Net-Zero
- Circular Economy and Waste-to-Energy Technologies
- Renewable energy (solar wind hydrogen)
- Waste energy harvesting for IoT applications
- Energy storage (batteries supercapacitors)
- Carbon capture and sequestration
- Energy Efficient Electronics
- Next Generation Biofuels
- Catalytic and Reactor Systems for Carbon Capture
- Design and Analysis of Low Carbon Technologies
