Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues
The global demand for sustainable and efficient energy systems has intensified research into new sources of energy and fuels. As society transitions toward low-carbon and renewable energy solutions, the development of innovative technologies for energy generation, storage, and utilization is critical. This Special Issue of Applied Sciences, titled “Advances in New Sources of Energy and Fuels”, highlights recent advances in the exploration, development, optimization, and utilization of novel energy sources and alternative fuels.
Key areas of the focus include renewable energy technologies such as solar, wind, and bioenergy, as well as emerging approaches like hydrogen production, synthetic fuels, and energy harvesting from unconventional sources, including gas hydrates and advanced fuel systems. Contributions also address innovations in fuel cell systems, carbon capture and utilization (CCU), and energy storage methods to bridge intermittent energy supply challenges.
This Special Issue places particular emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches that integrate engineering, material science, and environmental considerations to advance energy sustainability. Through experimental studies, computational models, and case studies, these contributions aim to address global energy challenges while minimizing environmental impacts. By showcasing state-of-the-art research and novel insights, this Special Issue aims to inspire future breakthroughs in energy and fuel technologies, contributing to a sustainable and energy-secure future. We invite researchers, engineers, and policymakers to engage with these advancements within the global scientific community.

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.
