Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) represents a vital strategy for reducing CO2 emissions from energy generation and industrial processes. Despite rapid advances in capture and storage technologies, their large-scale deployment still faces major challenges related to process efficiency, cost reduction, and system integration. Progress in modelling and optimisation is therefore essential to accelerate the development of practical and scalable CCS solutions.
This Special Issue, “Modelling and Optimisation of CO₂ Capture and Storage Systems”, invites authors to submit original research and review articles focusing on the design, simulation, integration, and optimisation of CCS across multiple scales. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Modelling of CO2 capture processes (solvent-based, solid sorbent, membrane, and hybrid systems);
- Process simulation, optimisation, and control strategies for CCS units;
- Integration of CCS with power plants, hydrogen production, and industrial systems;
- Transport modelling and geological storage of captured CO2;
- Techno-economic analysis and life cycle assessment of CCS pathways;
- Application of AI, digital twins, and data-driven optimisation in CCS;
- Hybrid approaches combining CCS with renewable energy and carbon utilisation technologies.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for cutting-edge contributions that advance the modelling and optimisation of CCS, supporting the development of efficient, reliable, and sustainable carbon management solutions.

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.
