Carbon dioxide removal, capture and storage

Submission status
Open
Submission deadline

Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) and carbon capture and storage (CCS) are two distinct options to help achieve climate goals by reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. Carbon Dioxide Removal methods involve capturing carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere, in order to store it in land, ocean, or geological formations. Methods include land management, such as afforestation and reforestation, or enhanced rock weathering, or technological methods, such as direct air carbon capture and storage. In contrast, carbon capture and storage is defined as the capture of carbon emissions from power plants and industrial processes before they enter the atmosphere.

In this cross-journal Collection, we bring together studies that address novel and existing carbon dioxide removal and carbon capture and storage methods and their potential for up-scaling, including critical questions of timing, location, and cost. We also welcome articles on methodologies that measure and verify the climate and environmental impact and explore public perceptions.

This Collection supports and amplifies research directly related to: SDG 13 - Climate Action.

This Collection is open for submissions from all authors – and not by invitation only – on the condition that the manuscripts fall within the scope of the Collection and the participating journals more generally.

All manuscripts will be considered for publication according to the editorial policies of the specific participating journal which they are submitted through. Visit Nature portfolio’s Collections guidelines for more details.

When submitting your manuscript to a participating journal via our online submission system, please choose the appropriate Collection title from the drop-down menu on the submission form. Please be sure to express your interest in the Collection in your cover letter. Please only submit to one journal, but note authors have the option to transfer to another participating journal following the editors’ recommendation.
