Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The transportation sector is the second-largest contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, encompassing a wide range of subsectors including on-road, off-road, railways, waterways, and air travel. The complexities of tracking transportation emissions make it equally challenging to reduce them. Therefore, studying transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions is crucial. The rapid adoption of new technologies like electric and hydrogen fuels in the transportation sector poses additional challenges for researchers. While Paris Agreement commitments provide clear pathways for emission reduction, the potential impact of newer strategies remains uncertain, necessitating modifications to these strategies. To address these challenges, more scholarly research is needed to understand the complex interactions within the transportation sector and develop effective solutions.
This Special Issue invites contributions in any of these areas, including modeling and innovative strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector. We are particularly interested in research that explores the impact of electric, hydrogen, and other low-carbon transportation modes, with the aim of addressing future challenges in reducing transportation-related emissions.

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. Atmosphere is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
