Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Hydrogen is considered as a fuel for the future. Catalytic approaches to producing hydrogen involve dehydrogenation, gasification, water–gas shift, as well as steam and dry reforming reactions. Recent studies consider the utilization of new sources of hydrogen like biomass, as well as liquid organic and solid hydrogen carriers. Photo- and electrocatalytic methods for hydrogen production become important. Hydrogen is also intensively used for the synthesis of chemicals from biomass using catalysts. Active, selective, and stable catalysts are needed for all these processes.
The aim of this Special Issue is to discuss the field of catalytic hydrogen production and application for the synthesis of valuable chemicals from biomass. The topics of the development of efficient homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts, reaction mechanisms and kinetics, and reactor systems engineering could be discussed in this Issue. We invite researchers to submit their theoretical and experimental original results.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
