Special Issue on "Negative Emission Technologies-NETs"

The objective of the Paris Agreement (PA) is to hold the increase in the global average temperature well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels; ideally limiting the temperature increase to 1.5 °C. Deployment of so-called negative emissions technologies (NETs), such as bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), direct air capture of CO₂from ambient air and storage (DACS), enhanced weathering (EW) of minerals, converting biomass to biochar for soil amendment, and ocean fertilization, etc., will play an important role to reach these temperature goals.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following aspects:

Current NETs status:if the concept is theoretically proven and/or technology demonstrated at least at experimental scale?
Potential capacity and scalability:if the technology can be scaled-up to industrial size implementation and its potential to
contribute significantly to negative emissions?]
Economic viability:if it is possible to deploy the technology on a large-scale at viable costs?
Commercialisation and deployment:the prospects for the near-term commercialization and deployment of NETs
Social and environmental impacts and acceptance:if the technology has potential negative impacts in terms of being
unsustainable or can offer socio-environmental advantages?

Submission Format and Guideline

This Special Issue solicits original work on NETs. All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journals or conferences. Papers must not exceed 25 pages (one-column, at least 11pt fonts) including figures, tables, and references. A detailed submission guideline is available as “Guide to Authors” at:

http://www.journals.elsevier.com/applied-energy.

All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through Elsevier Editorial System (EES):http://ees.elsevier.com/apen/default.asp.

Authors must select "VSI:NETs” when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process.

All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. Requests for additional information should be addressed to the editors.
