Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, innovative chemical industry collectively aims to revolutionize chemical production and de-fossilization, for example, by hydrogen utilization, through electrification and innovative process design. Some of recent emerging activities focus on sustainable ammonia and methanol production using electrification and intensification, enabling decentralized, low-emission manufacturing. Research is also addressing key challenges in hydrogen storage and transport, enhancing safety, efficiency, and scalability to support the growing hydrogen economy. We thus see pioneering catalytic ammonia synthesis under low pressure or near-ambient conditions, offering a cleaner alternative to the energy-intensive Haber–Bosch process. Research also targets more sustainable hydrogen peroxide production via modular electrochemical systems, reducing environmental impact across multiple sectors. Together, these activities support the green transition objectives by fostering innovative, circular, and low-carbon technologies for a competitive and sustainable chemical industry. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are gaining in traction to supplement traditional multi-scale modeling. Given this context, this Special Issue aims to gather high-quality research focused on innovations in chemical process engineering.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
