I. Aims

Carbon Science and Engineering is an international academic journal in the fields of carbon science and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) engineering. Guided by its mission to explore science and advance engineering, the journal focuses on significant scientific discoveries and engineering advances in these fields. It publishes research articles, reviews, perspectives, and engineering achievements, serving as an international platform for the dissemination of research findings and scholarly exchange. By sharing new academic insights, technological breakthroughs, and engineering case studies in carbon science and CCUS engineering, the journal seeks to advance the development of carbon science and CCUS.
