Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Green hydrogen is widely recognized as a key energy vector for decarbonizing industry, mobility, and seasonal energy storage. However, its large-scale operation still faces significant scientific and technological challenges, including improving conversion efficiency and durability, reducing capital costs, and ensuring low lifecycle emissions. This Special Issue, “Green Hydrogen Production”, focuses on high-quality contributions that advance the state-of-the-art in sustainable hydrogen generation routes and enable their integration into future energy systems.
We invite original research articles, communications, and critical reviews covering both fundamental and applied aspects of green hydrogen production. Submissions on renewable-powered water electrolysis are welcome, including advances in catalysts and materials, performance and durability, and operation under variable renewable electricity. We also welcome work on complementary renewable pathways, including hydrogen production from renewable and circular feedstocks (biomass and waste-derived streams) and integrated biorefinery concepts. Contributions on heterogeneous catalysis, catalyst stability, reaction engineering, kinetics, and performance under realistic operating conditions are particularly encouraged. We are also interested in studies addressing scale-up, process integration, and robust operation, as well as techno-economic analysis and life-cycle assessment.
We hope this Special Issue will be useful to the community by collecting results that are rigorous, comparable, and directly informative for the next steps in green hydrogen production. All submitted papers will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the highest quality and relevance.

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. Hydrogen is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.
