We wish you a very happy 2022 and welcome you to the first issue of Volume 2 of ACS Engineering Au. Our inaugural editorial (DOI: 10.1021/acsengineeringau.1c00024) introduced ACS Engineering Au and its mission. We also announced our Editors and Editorial Advisory Board and the scope of ACS Engineering Au as a fully open access journal for researchers and engineers working on chemicals, materials, and energy, which are essential for almost all human endeavors. In particular, advances in these areas improve resource efficiency and facilitate decarbonization throughout the value chain and across the economy. ACS Engineering Au held its first Editorial Advisory Board meeting on the second of December 2021. We had an excellent discussion on matters concerning the journal, including the need to expand the journal’s scope. Specifically, we decided that ACS Engineering Au should aim to bring an enhanced focus on technological and engineering aspects of research on chemicals, materials, and energy. Additionally, the journal is now looking to provide a platform for sharing new research methods and results to facilitate the translation of basic research to practice and application, highlighting work with advanced technology readiness levels. In light of this new focus, we have expanded and updated the scope of ACS Engineering Au to include:

• “Process technologies for chemicals and materials,” to specifically include engineering and technology-focused manuscripts from chemistry, biology, and materials researchers;
• specific topics such as decarbonization, electrification, microwave utilization, cavitation for emphasizing alternative energy sources based on electricity, and other relevant ideas for clean energy and mitigating CO₂ emissions;
• manuscripts featuring new methods, models, and tools (real-time data analytics, multiscale models, physics-informed machine learning models, machine learning-enhanced physics-based models, soft sensors, high-performance computing).

Please see the full revised journal scope online at https://pubs.acs.org/page/aeacb3/about.html. As we are committed to developing ACS Engineering Au with our community of authors, reviewers, and readers, we invite you to share your suggestions on our scope and other aspects of the journal. We will consider all feedback carefully and may implement and include your input and suggestions in subsequent editorials. We want ACS Engineering Au to become the premier fully open access community-based chemical engineering journal. We are also pleased to introduce the first issue of Volume 2 of ACS Engineering Au, which contains a perspective and four primary research articles:
