Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce the call for papers for the Special Issue titled "Combustion of Alternative Fuel Blends" in the MDPI open access journal Energies (Impact Factor: 3.2).
The transition towards sustainable energy systems underscores the critical need for developing and implementing alternative fuels that can efficiently replace or complement traditional hydrocarbon-based fuels. This Special Issue focuses on innovative combustion technologies and the application of alternative fuel blends, including, but not limited to, mixtures involving biofuels, hydrogen, ammonia, synthetic gases, and other non-traditional fuels. The aim is to explore their potential in reducing the environmental impact of energy production, particularly in terms of carbon dioxide emissions, and enhancing energy efficiency as well as sustainability.
We invite contributions that cover a broad range of topics related to the combustion of alternative fuel blends. These include advancements in combustion processes, innovative burner and reactor designs, the optimization of fuel mixtures for specific applications, emissions analyses, and the environmental impact assessment of using alternative fuel blends. Studies on the theoretical modeling, numerical simulation, and experimental investigation of combustion characteristics, flame dynamics, and the performance evaluation of alternative fuel blends in various combustion systems (e.g., internal combustion engines, gas turbines, and industrial furnaces) are particularly welcome.
This Special Issue aspires to gather original research articles and comprehensive reviews that offer insights into the latest scientific and technological advancements in the field of alternative fuel blend combustion. We aim to highlight work that contributes to the global effort of decarbonizing the energy sector, improving air quality, and moving towards more sustainable and efficient energy systems.
We look forward to your valuable contributions to this timely and relevant topic.

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.
