Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Decarbonization of the global energy system is needed in order to mitigate climate change. Transportation is one of the most challenging sectors to decarbonize, as it is highly dependent on fossil fuels. Hydrogen can play an important role in reducing CO2 emissions in the transport sector, among others. Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), such as light- and heavy-duty vehicles, trains, ships, planes, and drones, are expected to play an increased role in the transportation sector in the near future. Next to FCEVs, hydrogen or ammonia can be mixed in diesel engine fuels and in gas turbines for planes, as a transition step to fuel cells. Another important aspect is hydrogen transport, which can be done in different forms, such as liquid, compressed gas, or liquid organic hydrogen carries (LOHCs) like ammonia.
This Special Issue focuses on technical, economic, institutional, and social aspects related to the deployment of hydrogen in the transport sector. Topics of interest include:
- Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles: testing, control, modeling, and simulation;
- Market development strategies;
- New materials as key enabling technologies for fuel cells;
- Breakthrough in heavy/light-duty vehicles;
- Hydrogen-based fuels for maritime and aviation applications;
- Hydrogen infrastructure, including storage, transportation, and refueling stations;
- Various forms of hydrogen storage and transport (e.g., liquid, compressed gas, LOHCs);
- User experience.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
