Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental issues from industry, transport, agriculture, building, and energy supply are becoming more and more significant worldwide due to our society’s rapid development. Pollutant and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels adversely affect the environment, as well as representing a real threat to humanity. In this context, green and sustainable energy conversion systems play a crucial role in the reduction of environmental pollutions. Energy conversion systems based on renewable sources, such as solar, hydro, wind, geothermal heat, and ocean energy, represent a viable solution with a high self-sustainability capable of helping to foster the transition towards green and sustainable systems. On the other hand, the current power generation technologies based on the combustion of fossil fuels need to be replaced or upgraded with systems fuelled with low-carbon and/or zero-carbon fuels (biofuel and e-fuels) in order to decarbonize and increase their sustainability.
This Special Issue aims to publish high-quality research papers and review articles on innovative systems based on renewable energy sources and power systems fuelled with low-carbon and/or zero-carbon fuels, with particular emphasis on the improvement of energy conversion efficiency, optimization of energy management, and the reduction of the pollutant emissions.

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.
