Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrogen is increasingly considered an important player in international strategies for the decarbonization of different sectors, from industry to power generation and transport. Research projects and industrial applications are addressing different components of the hydrogen pathways, which include production, storage, transmission, distribution, and final uses.
Hydrogen pathways can be made completely sustainable if the energy required for its production is supplied from renewable sources (solar, wind, hydro, biomass), generating so-called “Green Hydrogen”.
The main pathway for the production of green hydrogen is based on power to gas (P2G) technologies, where renewable electricity is used for water electrolysis. Apart from electrolysis, researchers and various industry players are working to develop and produce green hydrogen using multiple sources, methods, and technologies, including thermochemical and biological processes. The production cost is a major barrier to the widespread use of green hydrogen.
The exploitation of green hydrogen is not only dependent on optimizing the production, but also, storage is a crucial issue due to the low volumetric energy density of hydrogen. To find the optimal solutions in terms of efficiency, volume, weight, safety, and costs according to the specific application, technological efforts both at system level and component level are required.
This Special Issue aims to encourage scientists, engineers, and researchers to address current state-of-the-art technologies, models, and solutions focused on the different green hydrogen pathways including production and storage systems.
Original research contributions and reviews dealing with system designs and techno-economic feasibility studies are welcome.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
