Low-Carbon Biofuels
This special issue belongs to the section "Applied Biosciences and Bioengineering".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue explores the pivotal role of low-carbon hydrogen in the global shift toward sustainable energy systems. As countries seek to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors such as industry, transport, and power generation, hydrogen produced with minimal greenhouse gas emissions has exhibited the potential to promote this transition. This Special Issue will highlight innovative research in hydrogen production technologies, storage and distribution solutions, industrial applications, and policy frameworks. It will also address the environmental, economic, and social dimensions of scaling up hydrogen, offering a comprehensive scientific perspective on this promising means of achieving climate neutrality.
