Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Addressing climate change is a critical global challenge that drives research across various scientific fields and shapes government policies worldwide. Its impacts are evident in marine and freshwater ecosystems, food and water security, economic stability, human migration, and public health. Climate change is driven by a combination of natural variations and human activities, particularly atmospheric pollution. Among the primary greenhouse gases—carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and water vapor (H2O)—CO2 is especially strongly linked to rising surface temperatures. In this context, both CO2 capture and hydrogen storage have emerged as essential strategies for mitigating climate change. Efficient CO2 storage is crucial for reducing atmospheric greenhouse gas levels, while hydrogen, as a clean energy carrier, can significantly cut carbon emissions if its production, storage, and distribution are effectively managed. Together, advancing technologies for CO2 sequestration and safe, reliable hydrogen storage are pivotal to achieving a sustainable, low-carbon future.
This Special Issue explores the forefront of research and development in CO2 and H2 storage technologies—two pillars of the global clean energy and decarbonization agenda. As the demand for sustainable energy solutions intensifies, the need for efficient, safe, and scalable storage systems becomes increasingly critical.
The issue aims to bring together cutting-edge studies, reviews, and case analyses that highlight novel materials, engineering approaches, and integrated systems for gas storage. Topics include solid-state and chemical hydrogen storage, advanced CO2 capture and sequestration methods and practical applications in energy, transportation, and industry.

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.
