Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid global energy transition and the pursuit of carbon neutrality, hydrogen energy has emerged as a strategic clean energy carrier. It enables low- to zero-carbon emissions and links power, industry, and transportation, enhancing energy system flexibility and reliability. However, challenges remain in the efficient integration and optimization of hydrogen systems.
This Special Issue highlights advancements in hydrogen energy system integration, modeling, and optimization, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation. We invite original research contributions on topics such as the following:
- Integration and optimization of green hydrogen production and storage;
- Multi-energy systems coupling hydrogen and renewables;
- Optimization and scheduling of hydrogen systems across timescales;
- Cross-sectoral applications in power, industry, and transportation;
- Economic evaluation and business model innovation;
- AI-driven planning and optimization of hydrogen systems.
Combining theory, simulation, and case studies, this Special Issue aims to provide insights for building efficient, economical, and secure hydrogen infrastructures, supporting a global transition toward low-carbon, intelligent, and resilient energy systems.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
