Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, many studies have been conducted on the use of alternative fuels for internal combustion engines (ICEs). A lot of attention is currently being paid to ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen (H2) as zero-carbon alternatives. H2 is generally considered the most promising fuel due to its wide combustion range and high heat value per unit mass. H2, on the other hand, has some drawbacks when it comes to storage since it must be stored under relatively high pressure at ambient temperature. This may result in hydrogen embrittlement or leakage. Compared to hydrogen, liquid ammonia, as a hydrogen carrier, can be easily liquefied and stored at low pressure. Further, the process for handling large quantities of NH3 is well established and it can be transported safely by rail, road, and pipeline. However, compared with other fuels, NH3 has a high ignition point, a slow combustion speed, and low combustion temperature, making it difficult to burn. Thus, NH3 can be used as a fuel in engines through mixing with hydrogen or other high-reactive fuels for combustion. This Special Issue aims to present recent advances and research in ammonia/hydrogen combustion, focusing on internal combustion engines, both practical and theoretical, to demonstrate how hydrogen and ammonia affect engine characteristics and performance. This Special Issue also welcomes submissions on other related technologies that could reduce emissions from internal combustion engines.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
