Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The combustion phenomenon has fascinated and been used by humans since ancient times and it is still used nowadays, especially to obtain the necessary energy for transport, preparation of hot water or food, and space heating. Lately, due to the fact that the pollution caused by the combustion processes has increased, scholars have turned their attention to obtaining clean energy and fuels. Therefore, the science and technology of combustion and flames are of great scientific interest and always remain topics of interest to develop modern and efficient combustion devices that achieve lower fuel consumption, higher power and lower pollutant emissions, so that a cleaner energy can be achieved. On the other hand, combustion phenomena represent a combination of chemical and physical processes that are complex processes involving knowledge not only in chemistry and physics, but also in engineering and technology. So, the study of combustion processes to obtain clean energy requires a strong connection between experiment, theory and technology. Finding such a connection is the main task of workers involved in these fields who are working hard to implement new systems for obtaining energy through combustion. Moreover, it is important to take into account that the combustion process should have the safest possible conditions both for the installations where the process takes place and for the people who operate the machinery. In this respect, these very important aspects must also be taken into account by researchers.
Therefore, this Special Issue is being launched to address recent advances in the science and technology of combustion from all points of view: experimental, theoretical and technological.

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.
