Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As a clean and renewable green energy, hydrogen is widely considered as an excellent substitute for fossil fuels. Biological hydrogen production is one of the best ways to obtain hydrogen gas. Large numbers of organic wastes in nature and human society provide abundant raw materials for biological hydrogen production, but the application of organic wastes in biological hydrogen production still faces great challenges, and there is a lack of systematic and in-depth research on either its theoretical basis or practical application. More innovative organic waste-derived bio-hydrogen production technologies are expected.
This Special Issue will collect relevant studies using organic waste that provide the latest research results of biological hydrogen production, and the topic includes the following aspects of content: biological hydrogen production, organic waste bioconversion, hydrogen-producing microbes, cell-free multi-enzyme catalysis process, microbial electrochemical process. As an important reference of related research in this field, your article will play an important role in the development of new types of biological hydrogen production technology. We look forward to receiving your valuable paper.

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.
