Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue, we call for papers to provide insights into the recent developments in alternative fuels. Alternative fuels play a very important and unique role in ensuring the sustainable development of power generation, heating and transportation, especially in powering heavy duty machinery such as that used in long-distance and heavy-load transportation. Using alternative fuels helps to address the challenges of climate change by not only reducing greenhouse emissions compared with the use traditional fossil fuels, but also by utilising wastes such as landfill gases, which have far higher global warming potential than carbon dioxide if released into the environment untreated. It is therefore critical to understand the nature of different alternative fuels and develop advanced technologies to use them efficiently with the least impact on the environment. Submissions to share your research findings or review state-of-the-art technologies related to alternative fuels in power generation, manufacturing and transportation as well as building-related applications are welcome.
