Low/Zero Carbon Fuels Production, Transportation, Storage and Utilization

Dear Colleagues,

Low/zero-carbon fuels have been a hot topic among researchers and manufacturers owing to the opportunities and challenges of carbon neutrality. Recently, many advanced developments have been reported related to the production, transportation, storage, and utilization of low/zero-carbon fuel technologies. These fuels include zero-carbon fuel (ammonia and hydrogen), carbon-neutral fuel (biodiesel and methanol), and low-carbon fuel (methane and natural gas). However, the production and transportation of these fuels still present a great technical challenge. Furthermore, all of these fuels need to be stored safely and be able to be used for combustion. Therefore, developing high-efficiency storage and utilization methods for these fuels is another significant challenge. Moreover, considering the strict rules regarding emissions from gas turbine, marine, and automobile engines, the application of these advanced atomization and combustion strategies under specific working conditions in different powertrains should also be deeply investigated.

This Special Issue on “Low/Zero Carbon Fuels Production, Transportation, Storage and Utilization” welcomes the submission of high-quality articles focusing on the latest novel advances in technology for low/zero-carbon fuels. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Low/zero-carbon fuel production technology;
• Low/zero-carbon fuel transportation technology;
• Low/zero-carbon fuel storage technology;
• Fundamental research on fuel spray and combustion;
• Spray and clean combustion in automobile, marine, and gas turbine engines.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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 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 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.
