Innovative Technology for Low Carbon Development

Dear Colleagues,

Climate change is growing to be a bigger threat to mankind. Rising temperature, along with higher sea level, would someday bring disasters. To meet this crisis, the goal of carbon peak and neutrality has been proposed aiming at reducing the emission of carbon dioxide. This goal can only be achieved with joint efforts of novel technologies from different areas. We need the technologies to reduce the emitted carbon dioxide, by capture, storage, conversion and utilization. As a large amount of carbon dioxide comes from the combustion of fossil fuels, the renovation of energy system could change the energy supply mode and reduce the gas emission: spread the use of renewable energies, make systems more efficient and take the energy storage strategy as much as possible. Moreover, green buildings and green industrial processes are also important for curbing the carbon dioxide emission. Those technologies are the hope for a low carbon development, and the related scientific topics will be hot spots in the following years. This issue would like present the most innovative and potential ones for readers.

We solicit contributions on topics including but not limited to:

• Novel technology in carbon dioxide capture and storage;
• Novel technology in carbon dioxide conversion and utilization;
• Innovation of high efficiency energy systems;
• Innovation, exploration and application of renewable energies;
• Novel energy storage technology in new energy systems;
• Novel green building technologies, green HVAC systems;
• Novel green industrial processes;

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.
