Alternative Fuels and Emission Control in Maritime Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The maritime industry is a significant source of global greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants, contributing to both climate change and local environmental degradation. As international regulations, such as the IMO’s decarbonization targets, become more stringent, the shift towards alternative fuels—such as hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol—has emerged as a critical strategy for reducing the sector's carbon footprint. However, the successful implementation of alternative fuels alone is not sufficient; advanced emission control technologies are equally crucial to address both traditional pollutants and the new emission challenges posed by these alternative fuels

This Special Issue, Alternative Fuels and Emission Control in Maritime Applications, aims to bring together state-of-the-art research on the use of alternative fuels in ships and on emission control technologies, addressing both traditional pollutants and the novel challenges associated with alternative fuel adoption.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
