Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The achievement of clean energy transition across power generation, transportation, and industry presents major scientific and technological hurdles. A key near- and mid-term strategy for reducing emissions involves enhancing the sustainability of current combustion technologies. Consequently, advancements in combustion science and a deeper understanding of renewable energy sources are essential for successful energy transition and sustainable mobility.
The main aim of this Special Issue is to report novel results that deal with the application of net-zero emission and carbon-neutral combustion technologies, involving the utilization of sustainable fuels. Topics also include new concepts for energy carrier production and energy storage and utilization, with a focus on engineering applications and safety issues.
This Special Issue showcases recent research on experimental studies, innovative diagnostic techniques, chemical kinetics of alternative fuels, computational fluid dynamics modeling of advanced combustion technologies, pollutant formation and mechanisms, renewable energy carriers like hydrogen and ammonia, data-driven methods for combustion and material synthesis, applications in engines and propulsion systems, biomass thermochemical processing and recycling, spray atomization, and liquid/solid fuel combustion.

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.
