Dear Colleagues,
Due to the global menace caused by carbon emissions from environmental, anthropogenic, and industrial processes, it has become expedient to consider the use of systems, with high trapping potentials for these carbon-based compounds. Among the different strategies that can be deployed to mitigate greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is considered a key technology. CCS is the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide (CO2) before it is released into the atmosphere. Several different technologies can be used and they fall into three categories: oxy-combustion systems, pre-combustion carbon capture and post-combustion carbon capture. Oxy-combustion capture has to do with capturing CO2 during combustion, i.e., while burning gas in the air. In pre-combustion capture, the gas is trapped from the parent mixture prior to undergoing combustion. Finally, in post-combustion capture, the gas is trapped from flue gas (a mixture of constituents such as nitrogen, water vapor, and oxygen), in a downstream unit retrofitted with a carbon capture system. For post-combustion capture, polymeric membranes have been considered one of the most promising technologies for mitigating CO2 emissions. However, there are still challenges on the applications of polymeric membranes for CO2 capture.
So, the purpose of this Special Issue entitled “Advances in polymeric membranes for Carbon capture and storage (CCS)” is to present recent progress in polymeric membranes used to capture CO2. Topics include, but are not limited to new polymeric membrane developments, for example, polymeric asymmetric membranes, rubbery polymers, copolymers, polymer blends, facilitated transport membranes, and composite materials as mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs)….
Authors are invited to submit their latest results; both original papers and reviews are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your outstanding work in this Special Issue.

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. Membranes 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 2700 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.
