Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the world pushes for carbon neutrality and sustainable energy, combustion science is transforming dramatically. Though combustion will remain key to global energy conversion, curbing CO2 and pollutants demands a shift from fossil fuels to cleaner, more efficient alternatives. This transition depends on breakthroughs in understanding combustion to enable next-generation low-carbon technologies.
This Special Issue aims to gather and showcase the latest state-of-the-art advancements that bridge fundamental science with practical, low-carbon solutions, enabling the design and optimization of sustainable energy systems.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Combustion chemical kinetics;
- Combustion of low-carbon or zero-carbon fuels;
- Advanced or novel combustion technologies;
- Flame instability and burner design;
- Radiative heat transfer;
- Combustion pollutant control technologies;
- Carbon capture technologies;
- Multiple pool fires;
- Computational fluid dynamics;
- Experimental study.

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. Fire is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
