About This Topic
To date, the adoption of renewable energy targets has been at the forefront of shortening carbon emissions globally, with nations setting ambitious but increasingly deliverable targets of 30%, 50% or even close to 100% of power generation from renewable sources in the coming decades. The opportunity to realize this future lies with the production and use of clean hydrogen, a versatile, storable, transportable, carbon-free fuel source.
Hydrogen, as a renewable energy carrier, is gaining attention for its ability to support energy storage, transportation, and carbon reduction. Alongside hydrogen, thermal energy storage systems-particularly latent heat storage-are becoming more viable due to their higher storage density. The future of hydrogen looks promising as the industry progresses toward a more sustainable energy future.
This shift impacts various sectors, including heating, cooking, and transport, while also bolstering exports and supporting environmental sustainability. Waste management, fuel security, and emissions are critical global issues, with research focused on converting waste into high-quality fuel for automobiles. However, these technologies are still emerging and not widely applied in Australia or globally.
On the other hand, there is significant demand for ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD), driven by stricter emissions regulations. In Australia, mixed solid waste is the main feedstock for the fuel value chain, but success depends on efficiently treating landfill waste. Technologies like pyrolysis, gasification, and hydro treatment have been developed separately, and this topic aims to integrate them into a single, optimized system to create ULSD from low-grade waste. The topic will also assess the emission reduction potential of this new fuel using a multicylinder diesel engine.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted through the LIDSEN Submission System. Detailed information on manuscript preparation and submission is available in the Instructions for Authors. All submitted articles will be thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process and will be processed following the Editorial Process and Quality Control policy. Upon acceptance, the article will be immediately published in a regular issue of the journal and will be listed together on the special issue website, with a label that the article belongs to the Special Issue. LIDSEN distributes articles under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0) License in an open-access model. The authors own the copyright to the article, and the article can be free to access, distribute, and reuse provided that the original work is correctly cited.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). Research articles and review articles are highly invited. Authors are encouraged to send the tentative title and abstract of the planned paper to the Editorial Office (jept@lidsen.com) for record. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Editorial Office.
