Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Producing carbon-free energy carriers such as hydrogen (H2), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), ammonia (NH3), synthetic fuels, etc., is crucial for a sustainable and low-carbon energy system. To establish a genuinely carbon-free energy carrier system, it is essential to prioritize renewable energy sources during production processes. By integrating renewable energy with the production of carbon-free energy carriers, excess renewable energy can be efficiently stored, addressing the intermittent nature of renewable sources and providing a reliable supply of clean energy. Such integration fosters a positive cycle that promotes a sustainable future and helps address the issue of climate change.
This Special Issue focuses on carbon-free energy carriers and highlights their significance in global energy transitions and decarbonization endeavours. It seeks to gather the most recent advancements in all areas of green energy production and circular economy to promote the creation of a pollution-free environment and realize "Net Zero". The topics that may be covered include but are not limited to:
- Carbon-free energy carrier production technologies;
- Sustainable sources of feedstock for production of carbon-free energy carriers;
- Carbon capture, utilization, and storage for production of carbon-free energy carriers;
- Solutions to infrastructure and storage for carbon-free energy carriers;
- Life cycle assessment and environmental impacts.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
