Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the current era of rapid global development, the dual challenges of environmental degradation and resource-energy scarcity are becoming increasingly prominent. To address these issues, there is an urgent need to shift traditional modes of production and consumption in sustainable directions.
Achieving sustainable development requires the coordinated control of multiple pollutants and a transition to cleaner and more efficient resource-energy systems. Recent advancements in carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS); the removal of trace heavy metal migration and transformation; river and lake ecological restoration technologies; environmental catalysis; low-carbon energy; and energy transition have provided new pathways for environmental governance.
This Special Issue will attract high-quality research and review papers that explore the frontiers of multipollutant control and resource-energy transition. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS);
- Removal of trace heavy metal migration and transformation;
- River and lake ecological restoration technologies;
- Environmental catalysis;
- Energy transition;
- Low-carbon energy and comprehensive energy;
- Power system and energy conservation.
We invite researchers and experts from around the world to contribute their original research findings and critical reviews to this Special Issue. Together, we can advance the frontiers of environmental governance and sustainable development.

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.
