Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite original research or review articles to a Special Issue of the journal Energies on the topic of “Fuels of the Future”. Fuels are the main energy sources providing power for transportation, power plants, chemical plants and space exploration. Concerns over the depletion of fossil fuels and environmental problems caused by using conventional fuels have promoted the development and search for sustainable alternatives.
The Special Issue of aims to gather innovative and original research articles on various solid, liquid and gaseous fuels from the perspective of production, properties and performance in engines, combustion processes and other energy system applications.
The specific topics of interest for the Special Issue include biomass, biofuels, hydrogen, ammonia and other novel fuels.
