Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite researchers and industry experts worldwide to submit papers on the innovative use of blue power to produce green hydrogen, with a focus on its application in maritime transport. This call centers on harnessing offshore wind, floating photovoltaics, and wave power to develop sustainable hydrogen fuel solutions that can be applied globally. As international shipping lanes are critical conduits for global trade, there is an urgent need to explore renewable energy sources that significantly reduce the carbon footprint of maritime activities. We seek comprehensive studies, case analyses, and technological advancements that demonstrate the viability, efficiency, and economic feasibility of integrating blue power with hydrogen production. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The design and optimization of offshore renewable energy systems;
- The development of efficient electrolysis processes powered by blue energy, infrastructure for hydrogen storage, and distribution;
- The economic and environmental impact assessments of deploying hydrogen-powered vessels.
Contributions that offer insights into policy frameworks, cross-border collaborations, and technological innovations for scaling up these solutions are highly encouraged as well.
Join us in advancing the green energy transition for sustainable maritime operations worldwide.

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. 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 1000 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.
