Waste Carbon Resource Utilization
Global warming and climate change have become a vital issue of the century that draws great concerns, attentions and efforts from scientists, engineers, policy-makers and publics worldwide. Different strategies and approaches have been sought to fight against the global warming issue in the past decades. Waste carbon resource utilization is one of the key strategies to mitigate excessive carbon emissions and help achieve a circular carbon economy. Waste carbon resources represent a diversity of abundant, inexpensive, widely available feedstocks which holds untapped potentials to replace or supplement the non-renewable fossil fuels to supply the society with energy, chemicals and materials. The carbon in the waste resources would accumulate and gradually re-emit into the atmosphere in the environment if without utilization. The “waste-to-wealth” concept obviates the re-emission and exploits the waste carbon for valuable products, boasting remarkable environmental and economic benefits. Hence, the valorization of the massive waste carbon resources will be an effective, crucial and indispensable direction to combat global warming.
The special issue on “Waste Carbon Resource Utilization” aims to highlight the recent advances on novel transformation routes to convert different waste carbon resources (biomass, food wastes, plastics, etc.) into various value-added products such as fuels, chemicals and materials.
