Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue "Alternative Fuels for Marine Engine Applications" aims to advance the global transition toward sustainable maritime transport. Curated by Professor Sina Rezaei Gomari, this issue invites cutting-edge research on low-carbon and zero-emission fuels such as hydrogen, ammonia, biofuels, and synthetic alternatives. It seeks to explore innovations in fuel formulation, combustion performance, emissions reduction, and engine retrofitting strategies. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, the issue aspires to bridge the gap between research and real-world deployment, supporting decarbonization goals and regulatory compliance in the marine sector. Contributions from academia and industry are welcomed to shape the future of clean marine propulsion.
