Environmental and Energy Assessment of Alternative Fuels

Dear Colleagues,

The depletion of fossil fuels and the instability of energy suppliers are increasing the desire for new fuels to replace conventional fuels. In particular, regulations for environments and greenhouse gas are being strengthened in transportation sectors, and research on the application of eco-friendly alternative fuels is also actively underway along with the development of new combustion techniques and after-treatment devices.

In this Special Issue, we would like to provide our readers with various research results on the applicability of alternative fuels, environmental assessment, and energy balance applied throughout industries such as automotive, plant, and power generation fields.

As Guest Editor of the Energies Special Issue on “Environmental and Energy Assessment of Alternative Fuels”, I warmly invite you to submit your relevant research results in the field for consideration for publication. This Special Issue represents a unique opportunity to gather the most recent advances on the application of alternative fuels in the fields of automobiles, plants, power generation, and so on.

The topics that may be addressed in this Special Issue include (but are not limited to):

• The application of alternative fuels (biofuels, DME, liquid petroleum gas, gas-to-liquid, etc.) to automobile vehicles, plants, and power generation systems
• The production and assessment of alternative fuels
• The impact of alternative fuels on environments (emissions, greenhouse gas, etc.)
• The life cycle analysis of alternative fuels
