Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Both the growing global population and economic development are driving higher energy consumption, which results in increased greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere produced from the combustion of fossil fuels. One potential technological solution to this problem is the production of biodiesel using modern catalytic systems. Therefore, within the proposed Special Issue, it is planned to publish cutting-edge papers presenting the latest progress in the field of biodiesel production, including its processing and its usage of innovative catalytic materials. Throughout the scope of this issue, it is intended to release review articles or manuscripts concerning the application of low-temperature non-equilibrium plasma in an activation or synthesis of modern heterogeneous catalysts systems, which will allow us to discover a new approach to the biodiesel production process.
This Special Issue will showcase the latest and most important advancements in biodiesel production process, highlighting the wide application of modern catalytic systems. We welcome the submission of original papers and short reviews on these topics.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
