Advances in Combustion and Renewable Energy

Dear Colleagues,

Our society is undergoing a great challenge in relation to energy utilization. Combustion is the primary method of energy consumption. To alleviate the problems caused by combustion regarding global warming and pollutant emission, several new technologies were proposed and studied in recent years to improve the combustion performance. Meanwhile, renewable energy has acquired increasing attention and extensive concern, including biodiesel, alcohol, ester, hydrogen, ammonia, etc. These fuels were converted to power or heat in engine devices, fuel cells, and furnaces, and the characteristics of fuel conversion at wide conditions were therefore explored. Though the large-scale use of alternative fuel still faces problems of transportation, safety, low thermal efficiency, high cost, emissions, etc., significant progress has been achieved in recent years.

The new research progress and challenges of combustion technology and alternative fuels utilization are welcome in this Special Issue.
