Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With increasing global attention being paid to climate change, the development of carbon-neutral fuels represents an important means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon-neutral fuel refers to fuels that have no impact on the climate, as they produce the same levels of carbon recovery and greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon-neutral fuels can be used in the transportation and energy sectors to replace traditional fossil fuels. In the former, carbon-neutral fuels can be used for the power systems of vehicles, such as private cars, trucks, and airplanes; in the latter, they can be used for power generation. Therefore, promoting the application of carbon-neutral fuels in internal combustion engines is of great significance, and governments, enterprises, and scholars around the world are actively researching and promoting this topic in an effort to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable development.
This Special Issue aims to showcase and disseminate the latest developments in technology related to the application of carbon-neutral fuels in internal combustion engines.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- All aspects of carbon-neutral fuel internal combustion engines, such as hydrogen in internal combustion engines, ammonia in internal combustion engines, alcohol in internal combustion engines, dimethyl ether in internal combustion engines, natural gas in internal combustion engines, etc.;
- Structural design of carbon-neutral fuel for internal combustion engines;
- Combustion technology for carbon-neutral fuel in internal combustion engines;
- Combustion mechanisms;
- Model establishment;
- Numerical simulation research;
- Emission control and purification;
- Engine control.

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.
