Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of Internal Combustion Engines is driven by the regulatory framework, with worldwide tightened criteria for pollutant emission and fuel economy.
ICEs advances and trends are achieved through multiple paths, with interrelated research efforts aimed at enhancing the engine's key features.
Strong efforts are concentrated on the use of alternative fuels, whether synthetic or natural, pure, or blended, to neutralize the environmental impact of the engine, both in terms of GHG emissions and in terms of pollutants. Novel combustion concepts, strategies, and their control encompassing the exhaust after treatment systems (ATS) are crucial to meet the regulation limits in the context of highly dynamic operating conditions.
The present Special Issue of Energies aims to gather innovative research and include some of the latest developments on internal combustion engines. More specifically, topics of interest for the Special Issue include (but are not limited to):
- Alternative fuels (pure fluids and blends), additives, and lubricants for ICEs.
- Injection system hydraulics and mechanics.
- Novel concepts of combustion.
- Pollutant formation and after treatment.
- Future/novel concepts improving the efficiency of automotive, industrial, steady, and marine engines.
- Future emission regulation and future exhaust gas analysis.

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.
