Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrogen energy is a clean energy carrier of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and biomass, and is becoming increasingly important in the world. Many scientists, engineers, and world-renowned companies, such as Cummins and Toyota, are involved in the research and development of hydrogen-fueled combustion engines. Their application areas include power plants, vehicles, and ships. This has contributed to advances in materials, design methodologies, modeling tools, and manufacturing processes for hydrogen energy generation, storage, and transmission for combustion engines. On the other hand, the growing use of hydrogen-fueled combustion engines has pushed research in areas such as theory, design, modeling, combustion, emissions, control, and heat transfer, leading to the development of hydrogen combustion engines with higher efficiency and lower emissions.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances in hydrogen energy for combustion engine applications.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- All aspects of hydrogen fuel supply technology, components, and systems for combustion engines.
- The combustion, emissions, and application of combustion engines.
- Life cycle assessment of hydrogen energy and combustion engine.

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. 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.
