Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has become the top priority of the energy industry for the mitigation of global warming. For large-scale combustion plants burning fossil fuels, oxyfuel combustion can provide a major breakthrough to achieve major GHG emission reduction as well as more effective pollution control. Through many years of fundamental studies and large-scale experiments, the combustion behaviors and process characteristics integrating different technologies have been revealed for oxy-fuel combustion, which brought this technology close to commercial applications.
This Special Issue of Energies is dedicated to recent advances in oxyfuel combustion covering topics of combustion fundamentals, pollutants behaviors, new process and equipment development, field demonstrations, and techno-economic analysis. It welcomes studies for various fuels such as coal, natural gas, biomass, and their blends, using entrained, fluidized bed, and other reactors at ambient or elevated pressures. Theoretical and experimental studies on flue gas treatment and process development for efficient carbon capture are equally welcomed.

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.
