Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Green fuels have been a hot topic among researchers and manufacturers owing to the opportunities and challenges of carbon neutrality. Recently, many advanced developments have been reported related to the performance, processing and utilization of green fuel technology. These green fuels include zero-carbon fuel (ammonia and hydrogen), carbon-neutral fuel (biodiesel and methanol), and low-carbon fuel (methane and natural gas). How to produce and transport these green fuels is a great technical challenge. Furthermore, all of these fuels need to be able to be used in international combustion engines. Therefore, how to develop a high-efficiency and low-emission combustion strategy for these engines is an another significant challenge. Moreover, with strict rules regarding emissions from gas turbine, marine and automobile engines, how to apply these advanced atomization and combustion strategies under the specific working conditions in different engines also should be considered deeply.
This Special Issue on “Green Fuels: Utilization, Production and Processing Technologies” welcomes the submission of high-quality works focusing on the latest novel advances in technology for the production and combustion of green fuels. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Green fuel resource technology;
- Green fuel storage and transportation;
- Fundamental research on green fuel combustion;
- Spray and clean combustion in gas turbine, marine and automobile 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.
