Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The EU initiatives developed in the framework of H2020 aim to reduce the use of fossil fuels while improving methods of decarbonization and transitioning to a low-carbon economy. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a technology which allows the capturing and storing of CO2 emitted by large fossil fuel power plants. Pre- or post-combustion CO2 separation and capture can be accomplished by means of a number of processes including chemical and physical absorption, adsorption, gas-separation membranes, and low-temperature distillation. Among technology options for CO2 capture, membrane-based gas separation systems are noteworthy, owing to their low energy requirements, promising technology evolution, and effective integration with power plants.
Within this context, this Special Issue aims at collecting qualified contributions that show the advancements of membrane systems technology and the opportunities to integrate them in power generation plants for carbon capture. Modeling and experimental papers on membrane systems for carbon capture and power plants in which they are integrated as well as review manuscripts concerning the most significant technologies and the most interesting challenges that still need to be addressed are welcome. Comparisons of membrane systems with other carbon capture technologies, in terms of energy, environmental, or economic performance, are also welcome.

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 2200 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.
