Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The notable progress made in terms of internal combustion engines is leading the research community to a renewed interest in alternative carbon-free fuels. Among the multiple possibilities, hydrogen-fuelled spark-ignition engines are generating significant interest, mainly motivated by their attractive combustion properties, e.g., high burning velocity, absence of carbon-related emissions (CO2 and particulate matter), wide flammability limits and the possibility they offer to operate with stable lean-burn mixtures.
However, some practical and theoretical challenges for the technological establishment of hydrogen combustion remain unsolved. To address this, hydrogen blending with conventional fuels (e.g., methane) and emerging hydrogen-carrier fuels (e.g., ammonia) are promising pathways for the short-term introduction of hydrogen in existing engines, leading to an immediate reduction in carbon emissions.
This Special Issue on “Hydrogen-Fuelled Spark-Ignition Engines“ aims to assemble research information on the advancements and state-of-the-art contributions in the use of hydrogen and hydrogen-blended fuels in spark-ignition internal combustion engines. The topics include, but are not limited to:
- Hydrogen combustion: experimental and numerical studies, with relevance to use in internal combustion engines;
- Hydrogen-blending of conventional/innovative fuels (methane, ammonia, etc.);
- Lean burn hydrogen combustion applications;
- Emission and after-treatment studies from hydrogen combustion;
- Hydrogen storage and distribution technologies;
- Hydrogen injection: experimental and simulation studies.

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.
