Electrochemical Processes for Carbon Dioxide Removal and Long-Term Storage

As climate change accelerates due to human activity, efforts to mitigate its impacts must focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. A combination of strategies, including renewable energy implementation, energy efficiency improvements, and low-carbon fuel adoption, is required to address this challenge effectively. Electrochemical processes offer a promising avenue for CO2 removal and long-term storage, particularly when coupled with renewable power sources, minimizing both carbon footprint and associated costs.

This Research Topic aims to explore emerging electrochemical processes for CO2 removal and long-term storage, emphasizing the intersection of electrochemistry with negative emission technologies. While electrochemical methods have been widely studied for energy storage and CO2 conversion to valuable chemicals, their potential for CO2 removal and long-term storage is only recently gaining attention. This article collection will cover recent advances in electrochemical CO2 removal and storage approaches and their integration with renewable energy sources.

Researchers are invited to submit their original research as well as review/ perspective articles for publication in this Research Topic. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
• Advances in electrochemical systems for direct air capture of CO2
• CO2 mineralization through electrochemical processes
• Long-term storage solutions for electrochemically captured CO2
• Electrochemical carbon capture and storage (CCS) techniques
