Solar Thermochemical Fuel Production

This special issue belongs to the section “I1: Fuel“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

One of the most abundant energy resources on the surface of the Earth is sunlight. The Sun provides 100,000 TW of energy to the Earth, approximately 10,000 times greater than the world’s present energy consumption rate. Therefore, harnessing solar radiation and its effective conversion to fuels is extremely important and beneficial toward the current global energy requirement. This Special Issue will collect original research works or review articles on recent advances in solar thermochemical fuel production. Different solar thermochemical fuel production ways, such as water splitting, carbon dioxide splitting, methane reforming, biomass conversion, and others will be considered.

Dr. Rahul R. Bhosale
Guest Editor

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
