The International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control is a peer reviewed journal focusing on 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
