Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the Special Issue entitled "Liquid Hydrogen for Mobile Applications". Hydrogen is considered a CO2-free energy source and is therefore a favored fuel in liquid form for heavy mobile applications such as airplanes, ships, trains and heavy trucks where batteries cannot provide sufficient amounts of energy. This Special Issue will contain contributions on cryogenics for such liquid hydrogen-powered heavy applications and on the infrastructure required for them. This refers to the liquid hydrogen infrastructures for airports, harbors, train stations and logistics centers, for example. With regard to the specific applications, the focus will be on refueling scenarios, tank systems and the use of liquid hydrogen. The infrastructure is about provision, tank scenarios, use of evaporation rates and also safety. The tank scenarios also include cryogenic components such as liquid hydrogen pumps. Both original research articles and comprehensive review papers are welcome. All topics related to cryogenics for liquid hydrogen heavy mobile applications and their infrastructure are welcome.
Dr. Holger Neumann

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. Cryo is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
