Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Given the increasing urgency of addressing climate change and transitioning to clean energy systems, hydrogen production and carbon capture technologies have emerged as critical components for achieving global sustainability goals. These technologies offer pathways to decarbonize energy-intensive industries, provide clean transportation fuels, and enable large-scale renewable energy integration through effective energy storage solutions.
Therefore, this Special Issue aims to compile cutting-edge research on hydrogen production and carbon capture technologies, focusing on both technological innovations and economic feasibility assessments. We welcome contributions that address efficiency improvements, cost reduction strategies, novel materials, process innovations, and system integration approaches for these key clean energy technologies.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Hydrogen production technologies (electrolysis, steam reforming, biomass conversion, thermochemical processes, etc.);
- Carbon capture systems for pre-combustion, post-combustion, and direct air capture;
- Materials development for hydrogen generation and CO₂ separation;
- CO₂ utilization pathways and carbon-neutral fuel production;
- The integration of hydrogen and carbon capture systems with renewable energy;
- Techno-economic analysis and life cycle assessment of production pathways;
- The challenges and of upscaling and commercialization strategies;
- Process optimization for improved efficiency and reduced costs.

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. Clean Technologies is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
