Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The recent increased demand for energy associated with conventional fossil fuel has drawn attention to issues such as high production costs, depletion and emissions. These problems are the main factors behind the focus on alternative fuels in recent years. Energy security is another factor driving the push toward alternative fuels and reducing the demand on exporting oil. It is important for alternative fuels to be renewable, have less impact on the environment and be compatible with currently available technology.
This special issue addresses the challenges associated with biofuel production and applications. Biofuels physical and chemical properties as well as their gaseous and particulate emission will be considered. State-of-the-art biotechnological methods for optimal biofuel production, technological achievements for biofuel-powered IC engines and future directions in biofuel research are also considered.

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).
