Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern energy systems face the dual challenge of improving conversion efficiency and achieving deep decarbonization. While significant advances have been made in energy conversion technologies, the integration of these systems with low-carbon development pathways remains a critical research priority. This Special Issue will focus on the intersection of energy systems improvement, conversion, and low-carbon development.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for next-generation energy systems that are efficient, low-carbon, and cost-effective. We invite contributions that develop integrated solutions, including the following: the design and optimization of energy conversion processes (e.g., power-to-X, renewables, storage); modeling and simulation of energy system performance under different loads and supply conditions; process integration and intensification for low-carbon fuels and chemicals; and techno-economic or life-cycle analyses that assess low-carbon pathways. Both methodological advances and case studies on ways of improving energy system performance are 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 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.
