Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The world is facing a significant climate crisis, and carbon emissions are a major contributor to it. To mitigate the impact of climate change, it is essential to reduce the amount of carbon emissions from various sources, such as coal-fired power, petroleum, cement production and steel-making plants. This Special Issue “Recent Advances in Modern Carbon-Negative Technologies for CO2 Capture” is a platform that can be used to reduce CO2 emission, focusing on the fundamental chemistry, chemical engineering processes and modern processes, such as absorption, adsorption, capture and utilization and membrane separation; it also includes the development of materials for capture. The technology does not only focus on carbon capture, storage and utilization (CCSU), but also includes the areas of renewable energy, hydrogen and circular economy.
Recently, there has been a number of works showing the effective mitigation and utilization of CO2, including direct air capture (DAC) technologies, enhanced rock weathering (ERW), aqueous amine-based CO2 capture, carbon capture and conversion, cryogenic carbon capture (CCC) and carbon capture using nanotechnology. This Special Issue on “Recent Advances in Modern Carbon-Negative Technologies for CO2 Capture” seeks high-quality works, with topics including, but not limited to:
- Absorptions with new solvents and performance applications;
- Membrane separations with higher-performance materials;
- Adsorptions with high-specific-surface-area materials;
- Carbon capture and conversion;
- Renewable energy, hydrogen and circular economy.

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.
