This book is a comprehensive introduction to supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO
2
) concepts, including its singular flow and heat transfer characteristics, the basic principles of sCO
2
power systems, and related challenges and solutions. It also explores how to expand to multi-energy complementary systems based on CO
2
's unique properties and introduces the latest research progress. The relevant energy technologies mentioned in this book use CO
2
as a medium to reduce carbon emissions in the energy sector, which can help in achieving carbon neutrality worldwide.
