Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fossil fuels (petroleum, natural gas, and coal) provide most of the energy consumed worldwide, leading to a number of economic, political, and environmental issues. Transition towards renewable sources of energy and new energy vectors is imperative in our society. In this sense, hydrogen has been proposed as a promising energy carrier, and a number of technologies have been developed to produce this gas from renewable sources. These technologies include catalytic reforming of biomass-derived molecules (in replacement of classical catalytic reforming of natural gas), water electrolysis, thermochemical and photocatalytic water splitting, and biomass gasification, as the most representative efforts.
Hydrogen storage has also been pointed out as being critical for bringing these technologies to the commercial scale. New solid materials with appropriate porosity and textural and hydrogen-containing liquids have been identified as promising technologies for storing large amounts of hydrogen.
The present Special Issue welcomes contributions (research papers, reviews and perspective) on technologies for renewable hydrogen production and storage. Papers dealing with market analysis and technoeconomic analysis of some of these technologies are also encouraged.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
