Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the present day, over 60% of electricity is produced by fossil fuel power plants, leading to the creation of substantial volumes of carbon dioxide (CO2). This is acknowledged as a significant contributor to the emission of greenhouse gases. On this basis, various emerging technologies applicable to CO2 capture and utilization (CCU) are being continuously developed. In recent years, the utilization of molecular simulation for material screening and design has become an indispensable part of fundamental research. The same situation also occurs in the field of CCU.
This Special Issue, entitled "CO2 Capture and Utilization and Molecular Simulation", aims to gather high-quality contributions that address the most recent and innovative advancements in CCU technology and molecular simulation-assisted CCU process development. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The development of models or simulations for CO2 capture and utilization
- The innovative development of CO2 capture and utilization technologies.
- Multiscale molecular simulation for the CO2 capture process
- The process design, optimization and economic evaluation of an CO2 capture system
Sincerely,
Dr. Ying-Chieh Hung

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.
