Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ongoing climate change, the depletion of natural resources, and growing energy demands have rendered the production of new types of fuels for energy systems, including combustion engines and boilers, very crucial. Using alternative fuels, either as direct propellants or as additives to classic fossil fuels, may have both positive and negative consequences for energy machines and the environment. The most popular alternative fuels are biofuels, recycled fuels, synthetic fuels, ammonia, ethanol, methanol, ethylene, and hydrogen. Their mixtures with common fuels such as kerosene, gasoline, diesel oil, heating oil, LNG, CNG, LPG, etc., are also often employed.
This SI aims to present the latest research results related to the use of various types of fuels to power combustion engines, boilers and other thermal machines in maritime, road, railway and air transport applications. Additionally, we are interested in the combination of these fuels in stationary power and heating plants. We intend for the studies published in this SI to highlight the impact of alternative fuels and their combinations with other fuels (classic and/or alternative) on the level of exhaust gases emissions (NOx, SOx, PMs, aldehydes, etc.), energy performance (power, torque, speed, energy efficiency), component wear, reliability and safety of operation, cost effectiveness, as well as the functionalities (maintainability, noise, vibrations) of machines and devices powered by these fuels.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
