Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The current global situation in the fuel market and the need to reduce the carbon footprint make it necessary to find alternative fuels supplying combustion engines or other propulsion systems. The components added to liquid fuels, i.e., bio-based and synthetic additives obtained from the processing of plastics, are of particular importance. Gaseous fuels are a separate group (e.g., hydrogen, ammonia, LNG, LPG) and are used to power the engines of transport vehicles. The green electricity and flywheel energy are another group of alternative fuels in transport.
This Special Issue aims to present the use of alternative fuels in transport means described above and other problems related to their use.
Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to:
- Fuel cells;
- Hydrogen;
- LPG;
- LNG;
- Synthetic fuels;
- Biofuels;
- Electricity supply;
- Inertia flywheel energy storage;
- Friction wear in engines powered by alternative fuels;
- Impact of alternative fuels on internal combustion engine components;
- Storage problems of alternative fuels;
- Marine Energy Storage Systems;
- Energy and exergy efficiency of alternative fuel engines;
- Operational specifics of internal combustion engines fueled by alternative fuels.

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.
