Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The major energy utilization methods of fossil and biomass fuels include combustion, gasification, liquefaction, and so forth; however, anthropogenic impacts on the environment have aroused a great deal of attention in recent years and the CO2 emitted during these utilization processes is one of the main contributors to global warming. Achieving carbon neutrality along with pollution reduction is now becoming the world’s most urgent mission and the main goal of carbon neutrality is to reduce carbon emissions to zero either through their complete elimination or through the achievement of a dynamic balance. An important method to achieve carbon neutrality involves novel combustion technologies with carbon capture and sequestration. The development of new combustion technology and the numerical simulation of thermodynamics and reaction dynamics involved in the process are effectively used to investigate the complex reaction mechanisms in combustion processes, and to ensure that the feasibility of new high-flux combustion technology can be verified.
This Special Issue on “Novel Combustion Technologies for CO2 Capture and Pollution Control” principally aims to cover research on experimental and numerical simulation in the fundamental and applied sciences as they pertain to CO2 capture technologies during processes of energy utilization and pollution control. The scope of interests includes, but is not limited to:
- Chemical looping combustion/gasification;
- Oxygen-enriched combustion;
- Process simulation;
- Fluidized bed reactors;
- Pollution reduction.

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.
