Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will collect papers related to low-carbon heat and power generation technologies, with a particular emphasis on renewable integration, waste heat recovery, and energy saving techniques. In doing so, it will offer insights into new studies and findings regarding clean energy production for stationary applications in the civil, industrial and tertiary sectors, especially energy-intensive industries, such as metals, ceramics, glass, paper, chemicals, and other production processes requiring low-carbon systems. Papers on digitalization, modelling, numerical studies, and data-driven and/or physics-based approaches for performance prediction are particularly welcome.
Potential Special Issue papers topics include the following:
- Clean hydrogen generation;
- Combined heat and power based on advanced prime movers;
- Solar energy and heat generation;
- Renewable heat pumps;
- High-temperature industrial heat pumps;
- Organic Rankine cycles for waste heat recovery;
- Other innovative solutions.

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.
