Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Industrial and economic developments around the world have increased energy demands, predominantly energy supplied by fossil fuels, particularly coal. However, the combustion of fossil fuels results in the significant emission of greenhouse gases, acid gases, particulate matter, and other pollutants that are harmful to the environment and human health. For the efficient and clean utilization of coal and the control of pollutant emissions, some technologies such as coal gasification, liquefaction, efficient coal combustion, and power generation have received extensive attention. The clean utilization and conversion technologies of coal can realistically and effectively reduce environmental pollution and carbon emissions. The development of clean coal technology will not only bring development opportunities for the coal industry, but will also have a profound impact on the power industry and power generation equipment manufacturing.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances research on theory, experimental design, simulation, and application related to various types of high-efficiency and low-emission clean utilization and conversion technologies of coal.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Coal chemistry and application;
- Coal conversion technology;
- The efficient and clean combustion characteristics of fossil fuels;
- The control of pollutants;
- The coupled utilization of fossil fuels and renewable energy sources;
- The design of advanced burner;
- Carbon capture, utilization, and storage;
- Coal-based carbon materials.

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.
