Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue investigates the complex and evolving landscape of atmospheric emissions in combustion systems undergoing a transition toward low-carbon and climate-oriented technologies. We welcome studies that combine advanced measurement techniques and computational modeling to characterize the formation, behavior, and transformation of pollutants across both conventional and emerging fuels, including ammonia, hydrogen-enriched mixtures, and synthetic alternatives.
Special focus will be placed on the emergence of previously underrepresented or secondary pollutants, such as nitrous oxide (N2O), and their formation mechanisms under novel combustion conditions. The Special Issue encourages interdisciplinary approaches that integrate combustion chemistry, atmospheric modeling, and environmental risk assessment, highlighting how fuel innovation may introduce new atmospheric impacts beyond traditional carbon metrics.
By bridging experimental diagnostics, field observations, and predictive simulations, this Special Issue aims to inform mitigation strategies, support regulatory development, and guide future research in sustainable combustion systems aligned with global climate goals.

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.
