Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid growth of demand for power in the 21st century and the crisis state of the environment cause several technological problems in heat power engineering that should be addressed based on modern criteria for energy efficiency, while reducing costs and minimizing the environmental impact. Important areas of scientific and technological progress in heat power engineering include the creation of new generations of power equipment and the reconstruction and modernization of existing equipment, as well as ensuring the required level of industrial safety of power equipment. Thermal power plants (TPPs) on fossil fuel have been the main industrial source of electricity for many decades. The most important issues of the future development of thermal energy in the world consist in the further technological improvement of thermal power plants in order to increase the efficiency, reliability, and environmental friendliness of the production of electrical and thermal energy. Along with this, scientific and research works are being developed, aimed at the development and implementation of promising technologies for the maximum capture of harmful substances, including greenhouse gases, from fuel combustion products, and at ensuring the environmental safety of TPPs.
This Special Issue entitled “Thermal Energy Perspectives for the 21st Century” aims to perform a comprehensive analysis and discussion of fundamental problems of thermal and power engineering, and the further development paths, i.e., the issues of improving traditional and promising energy technologies in the 21st century.

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.
