Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Decarbonization is becoming a higher priority for energy utilization and environmental sustainability. The power sector currently accounts for a large share of global CO2 emissions and is undergoing a swift transition to renewable power generation worldwide. One of the challenges of decarbonizing the power sector is sufficiently reducing greenhouse gas emissions while guaranteeing reliability, security, and affordability. Low-carbon alternative fuels, e.g., hydrogen, bio-methane, bio-methanol, ammonia, etc., can play crucial roles in the future power sector.
This Special Issue will deal with investigations on production, storage, and utilization technologies of various alternative fuels in power sector and their assessments. Studies on emerging methods and applications relevant to integration, monitoring, and control of energy system are also highly expected as they can strongly accelerate the commercialization of these alternative fuels. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- alternative fuel production;
- alternative fuel-based energy storage;
- clean utilization technologies;
- system integration, optimization, and control;
- sustainability assessment

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.
