Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The more pronounced energy consumption caused by the rapid growth of the world economy is creating many energy challenges. According to the British Petroleum's global energy outlook, even in the context of electrification, oil will continue to hold the largest share of the energy structure (31.2%) throughout the 2020s. Oil is projected to account for the significant contribution of transportation energy consumption by 2050, and its demand for highway traffic will remain important. In this scenario, new engine technologies to enhance engine efficiency and that are capable of meeting the increasingly stringent future emission policy for transportation, that is moving towards the zero-carbon target, are urgent.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect and disseminate the efforts of select researchers regarding analysis, modeling, and control strategies and the application of sustainable fuels in internal combustion engines.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Strategies for monitoring and control injection and combustion events;
- Real-time and off-line modeling;
- Application of sustainable fuels;
- Combustion performance of green fuels and their blends;
- Spray technologies;
- Numerical and experimental analysis;
- Innovative techniques for emissions reduction;
- Advanced approaches to improve engine efficiency.

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.
