Advanced Low-Carbon Energy Processes: Engineering, Optimization, and System Integration for Carbon Neutrality
This special issue belongs to the section "Chemical Processes and Systems".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global pursuit of carbon neutrality has spurred an urgent demand for innovative low-carbon energy technologies and integrated systems. Addressing climate challenges requires synergistic advancements in renewable energy utilization, traditional energy decarbonization, and carbon management. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for showcasing cutting-edge research on low-carbon energy systems, focusing on technologies that enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and accelerate the transition to net-zero carbon.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Renewable energy (wind, solar, and biomass) and advanced energy storage solutions;
- Decarbonization of traditional energy systems (e.g., natural gas liquefaction with high-efficiency heat exchange);
- Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), including integrated CO2 capture and utilization (ICCU);
- Hydrogen energy technologies (e.g., hydrogen combustion engines);
- Biomass conversion (e.g., biomass chemical looping gasification and pyrolysis–steam reforming);
- Low-carbon energy materials and integrated smart energy systems.
We welcome contributions that explore the theoretical, experimental, and practical aspects of low-carbon energy, fostering solutions for a sustainable, carbon-neutral future.

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-anonymized 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 semimonthly 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.
