The Journal of CO2 Utilization offers a single, multi-disciplinary, scholarly platform for the exchange of novel research in the field of CO2 re-use for scientists and engineers in chemicals, fuels and materials.

The emphasis is on the dissemination of leading-edge research from basic science to the development of new processes, technologies and applications. This includes CO2 as a feedstock in the chemical, energy and materials sectors, and utilization in general to help minimize environmental impact.

The Journal of CO2 Utilization publishes original peer-reviewed research papers, reviews, and short communications, including experimental and theoretical work, and analytical models and simulations.

The coverage includes, but is not limited to:
• Materials for CO2 activation and adsorption

• Heterogeneous and homogeneous catalytic reactions involving CO2

• CO2 conversion to generate synthetic fuels, polymers, organic carbonates, and intermediate products.

• Supercritical CO2 utilization in natural product extraction, catalysis and separation

• Use of CO2 as an oxidant

• Electrochemical and photo-electrochemical conversion of CO2

• Photo-electrochemical, photo-thermal and photochemical conversion of CO2

• Biological conversion of CO2

• Integrated processes for CO2 conversion and reduction


This journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action)
