Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The deteriorating state of the environment and constantly rising energy prices have risen the community and political awareness of the urgent need for alternative energy sources which could make society and industry independent from burning fossil fuels. The use of alternative fuels instead of fossil fuels will help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and thus protect the environment. To replace fossil fuels with alternative fuels, they must be produced from readily available and easily processed raw materials. Moreover, they should be cheap to manufacture and sale and pose a lower risk to the environment than conventional fuels.
This Special Issue will present the latest and most significant developments in the field of catalytic systems used in alternative fuel production and other green chemicals. We invite you to send original articles on the above topics and short reviews.

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. Materials 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.
