Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The relentless growth of the global energy demand and industrialization has resulted in historically high carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, gravely undermining climate stability. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop energy-efficient technologies capable of reducing atmospheric CO2 concentrations while simultaneously mitigating associated pollutant emissions.
In response, carbon neutrality has become a strategic goal worldwide, driving the urgent need for advanced technologies in carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS). Emerging approaches—including chemical looping, adsorption–desorption cycles, mineralization and the catalytic conversion of CO2 into fuels and chemicals—have demonstrated great potential in achieving large-scale emission reductions. However, a great deal of work is still needed to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality.
This Special Issue on “Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage Technologies for Achieving Carbon Neutrality” seeks high-quality reviews and research papers that involve low-carbon conversion and Environmental Pollution Control. Topics include, but are not limited, to the following:
- Functional materials for CO2 utilization;
- Chemical looping combustion (CLC);
- New technology for CO2 capture and CO2 utilization ;
- Emission of combustion pollutants.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
