Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The challenge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions is one of the most pressing issues humanity faces, and its resolution is critical. In particular, emissions from the transport sector represent a substantial portion of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, and the scientific community plays a pivotal role in finding effective, innovative solutions to overcome this problem. Among the key contributors to these emissions is CO2, which is largely generated by the combustion of fuel in vehicles.

This Special Issue seeks to inspire researchers, both local and global, to approach this challenge from a broad range of perspectives. We welcome contributions focused on innovative engine technologies, advanced after-treatment systems, and other forward-thinking concepts that have the potential for real-world application and that could have a significant environmental impact. We particularly encourage the submission of articles exploring cutting-edge topics, especially the large-scale electrification of vehicles and its role in the decarbonization of transport.

We also welcome submissions that analyse emissions, incorporating modern tools such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to model and better understand various emission dynamics. Both original research and comprehensive reviews (e.g., on legislative frameworks) that align with the goals of this Special Issue are welcome.

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.

This paper contains a comparison of air pollutant emissions of different vehicle types and a presentation of the issue of assessing the environmental impact of hybrid, conventional, and electric vehicles in terms of the changing electricity production sources in Poland over time. The research method used in this paper for hybrid and conventional vehicles was on-road testing of air pollutant emissions using the SEMTECH DS analyzer. Air pollutant emissions from electric vehicles were determined based on the authors’ analytical method involving air pollutant emission factors published annually in Poland by the National Centre for Emissions Management (KOBiZE). Measurements of on-road air pollutant emissions for hybrid and conventional vehicles were compared with electric vehicle emissions; however, the electric vehicle emissions covered the area of electricity production. The hybrid vehicle emissions recorded in on-road tests have been corrected for the emissions that arise from the production of the electricity consumed by the hybrid vehicle. The recovery phenomenon was not analyzed. The aim of this paper is to compare air pollutant emissions of electric vehicles with those of hybrid and conventional vehicles, considering the energy transition that has taken place in Poland in the last decade.
