The International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control is a peer reviewed journal focusing primarily on Carbon Capture, Transport, Utilization & Storage. If your paper is not related to this area, it is not in scope for the Journal. The Journal invites research covering applied science and engineering advances in control of greenhouse gas emissions and reductions of their atmospheric concentrations through carbon dioxide capture, transport and storage. The Journal publishes results of experimental and pilot studies, technology demonstrations, process design and optimization, and techno-economic, policy, and life-cycle analyses relevant to applications in the power sector, major resource, manufacturing and production industries, and negative emissions technologies. Original research, review and comment papers are included.

The scope of the journal (whilst not exclusive to) includes:

CO2 capture
New research results relevant for large scale CO2 capture systems using chemical solvents, solid sorbents, chemical looping, calcium looping, membranes and membrane reactors and hybrid systems, PSA, cryogenics etc.
Advances in CO2 capture processes (post combustion, pre combustion, oxy combustion) for power plants, cement and steel plants, refineries, petrochemicals, and other large industries
Experimental results at pilot level from laboratory scale to demonstration, and relevant modelling work for scaling up
CO2 capture process simulation for energy penalty reductions. Dynamic modelling.
Cost analyses and cost reduction strategies
Environmental impacts/risk, safety and life-cycle assessment of capture facilities


CO2 Transport
Design and material/technical issues for CO2 transport systems
Economic analyses and systems level optimization of CO2 transport systems
Risk assessments and safety issues
Permitting and regulatory issues


CO2 Geological storage
Geological formation/storage capacity assessments
Matching emissions sources and storage opportunities
Site selection and characterization
Modelling the fate and effects of stored CO2
Integrity of the storage site, including caprocks and wells
Test injection research results
Risk assessments and management
Monitoring tool developments and applications
Environmental impact assessments
Demonstration project results and operational experiences
Induced seismicity, pressure maintenance, brine displacement, groundwater impacts
Remediation and measurement, monitoring and verification issues
Experiences from natural/industrial analogues


Alternative storage options
Ex situ mineral carbonation (research results, safety/risk assessments, environmental/energy/legal issues, public acceptance, regulation and costs)
Advanced weathering
Ocean storage


Alternative mitigation options/negative emission options
BioCCS and other bioenergy mitigation options
Negative emission accounting principles
Comparison of different GHG mitigation options such as energy efficiency, renewables and nuclear power and their potential to reduce CO2 emissions


System integration and infrastructure development

Implementation issues
Legal and regulatory developments/issues
Human/engineering capacity constraints
Public awareness/acceptance issues
Industry case studies on GHG mitigation technology implementation, learning by doing, knowledge transfer, stakeholder engagement and financing options


Integrated assessments, economic instruments that would induce commercial CCS deployment
Energy and economic modelling of the role that CCS will play in the broader portfolio of emissions mitigation options under different scenarios
Analyses of policy options (national and international) to reduce GHG emissions and how these impact the commercial deployment of CCS systems
