Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, it is mandatory to promote scientific research towards efficient and low-carbon energy and propulsion systems. This is related to the efforts to meet climate neutrality and a sustainable usage of resources to satisfy an increasing global energy demand. Many power generation technologies are still based on the combustion of fossil fuels; therefore, a revolutionary innovation of such technologies is needed for this epochal turning point in the industrial sector.
This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in combustion strategies with a strong shifting from standard fuels to biofuels and e-fuels for the energy generation and transportation sectors, with the aim to decarbonize and increase sustainability. Indeed, recent advances in emerging technologies can potentially result in the production and use of fuels tailored to improve combustion efficiency and reduce emissions. The assessment of these benefits will be published in this Special Issue based on in-depth studies under conditions relevant to industrial and transportation applications.
Both numerical and experimental studies with original results are welcome, as well as the description and application of innovative methods and techniques. In addition, researchers are invited to contribute comprehensive and critical reviews of the scientific literature in the field.

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.
