The present application relates to separation processes and systems and more specifically to hybrid carbon dioxide separation processes. In one embodiment, the system for the separation or removal of carbon dioxide comprises an apparatus for a selective separation of carbon dioxide (CO2) from flue gas—typically exhaust gases, syngas or natural gas streams—using one or more so-called CO2 reverse selective membrane(s) in the first separation unit to enrich a feed gas stream which contains carbon dioxide with CO2 and by separating other constituents of the gas stream. Thus, the feed gas stream is separated in the first separation unit by CO2-reverse-selective separation into a CO2-lean gas stream and a CO2-enriched gas stream. The CO2-enriched gas stream is fed to a second separation unit which is a CO2-selective separation unit. The second separation results in a purified CO2-rich gas stream and a remaining CO2-lean gas stream.
