Carbon Capture Science & Technology

An Official Publication of the Institution of Chemical Engineers

Carbon Capture Science & Technology (CCST) is a new gold open access journal for the publication of cutting-edge high-impact research covering all aspects of carbon capture.

The journal welcomes contributions from engineers, chemists, economists, biologists, environmental and social scientists alike. Papers which report significant progress at the interface between these disciplines are particularly encouraged.

CCST publishes original research papers, review papers, perspectives, and short communications. Topics which will be considered for publication by CCST include, but are not limited to the following:

Pre-combustion carbon capture

Hydrogen production through gasification of hydrocarbon feedstock

Water gas shift reaction

Whole process of pre-combustion carbon capture

CO2 removal from biogas and syngas

CCST offers rapid review and publication. Initial editorial decisions are normally made within 3 days while the first editorial decision after peer review is normally made within 4 weeks. The journal aims to provide a first decision with reviewer comments within four weeks of submission. First publication decision, for papers that are not within the journal's scope, is made within three days of submission.

The official abbreviation for the journal is Carbon Capture Sci. Technol.
