Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As global carbon emissions intensify climate challenges, hydrate-based CO2 capture, transport, and sequestration (CCS) has emerged as a promising low-carbon solution, leveraging high gas storage capacity, self-preservation, and environmental compatibility. However, technical bottlenecks—including sluggish hydrate formation kinetics, inefficient heat/mass transfer, and the "efficiency–environment–cost" paradox of promoters—hinder its industrialization. This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge advancements in enhancing hydrate-based CCS technology. We welcome the submission of original research and reviews focusing on high-density and efficient formation of CO2 hydrates (e.g., thermodynamic/kinetic analysis), thermodynamic/kinetic promoter optimization (e.g., composite, green, and nanomaterial-based promoters), multi-factor regulation (salinity, pH, reservoir properties), process intensification (mechanical, chemical, and external field stimulation), and multi-scale modeling (molecular dynamics to field-scale simulations). We particularly encourage contributions addressing promoter environmental adaptability, cross-stage synergy in CCS chains, and technoeconomic evaluation. This Special Issue seeks to integrate fundamental insights and engineering innovations, accelerating the transition of hydrate-based CO2 management from laboratory research to practical applications for global carbon neutrality.

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 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.
