Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to a Special Issue on Engine Emission Control: Strategies for High-Efficiency Clean Combustion for the journal Applied Sciences.
The development of high-efficiency, near-zero-emissions internal-combustion engines is one of the key challenges facing the mobility industry. Numerous pathways are being explored to achieve this goal, including alternate fuels, e-fuels, advanced combustion, aftertreatment concepts, and hybridization. The application of carbon-free fuels like H2 provides an opportunity to achieve zero-carbon emissions, but the challenge of NOx emissions remains. Numerous government projects have worked to develop custom fuel characteristics coupled with advanced internal-combustion engines with the aim of replacing the current hydrocarbon fuels with renewable resources while improving engine efficiency and reducing emissions. In addition, the advent of electrification has provided another challenge to the development of internal combustion engines, wherein a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle or range extender electric vehicle may require an engine operation map that is widely different compared to the conventional powertrain concept. Finally, the multitude of engine applications ranging from the automotive sector to the transportation industry to the marine and locomotive sectors make the application of a single combustion concept difficult to implement across the mobility industry.
In this Special Issue, we invite submissions exploring cutting-edge research and recent advances in the fields of advanced clean combustion concepts for future mobility solutions. Both theoretical and experimental studies are welcome, as well as comprehensive review and survey papers.

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.
