Abstract
This annual review outlines the progress of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies in 2024. As human-induced CO2 emissions continued to rise, the year presented critical challenges. Notably, 2024 was the hottest year on record and the first in which global temperatures exceeded preindustrial levels by more than 1.5°C, driving intensified efforts to advance CCUS. Scientific interest in CCUS grew significantly, with the annual number of related publications increasing by 11.4% compared to 2023, reaching 53,970. The total number of operational commercial CCUS facilities also expanded, rising by 16.3% to a total of 50. In the political area, governments introduced targeted policies to accelerate CCUS adoption, focusing on economic investment and specific implementation requirements.
期刊介绍:
Energy Science & Engineering is a peer reviewed, open access journal dedicated to fundamental and applied research on energy and supply and use. Published as a co-operative venture of Wiley and SCI (Society of Chemical Industry), the journal offers authors a fast route to publication and the ability to share their research with the widest possible audience of scientists, professionals and other interested people across the globe. Securing an affordable and low carbon energy supply is a critical challenge of the 21st century and the solutions will require collaboration between scientists and engineers worldwide. This new journal aims to facilitate collaboration and spark innovation in energy research and development. Due to the importance of this topic to society and economic development the journal will give priority to quality research papers that are accessible to a broad readership and discuss sustainable, state-of-the art approaches to shaping the future of energy. This multidisciplinary journal will appeal to all researchers and professionals working in any area of energy in academia, industry or government, including scientists, engineers, consultants, policy-makers, government officials, economists and corporate organisations.
