Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Renewable hydrogen production and storage play a pivotal role in catalysing the transition from fossil-based to green and decentralised energy generation. There is huge drive to replace fossil fuels in the near future to reduce carbon emissions that cause global warming and undesirable climatic changes. Aware of this reality, green H2 is being considered as a potential player in national and international strategies and is increasingly being applied to different sectors, from industry to transport. In parallel, the transition from grey to blue H2 can be achieved by integrating hydrogen production processes with carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) technologies, significantly contributing to the immediate mitigation of CO2 emissions. This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances in the fields of catalysis, process efficiency, modelling, techno-economic assessment (TEA), and life-cycle analysis (LCA) to understand the technology development, cost, and environmental impacts on the hydrogen energy route, including production, storage, and final use. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Hydrogen production from renewable and waste feedstocks, such as biogas, glycerol, and alcoholic waste;
- Hydrogen storage technologies, including compressed and liquefied hydrogen, liquid organic carriers, metal hydrides, methanol (CH3OH), and ammonia (NH3);
- Synthetic natural gas (SNG) production by Sabatier reaction.
We look forward to considering your submissions.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
