Biofuels Production: A Review on Sustainable Alternatives to Traditional Fuels and Energy Sources

Kamla Malik, Sergio C. Capareda, B.R. Kamboj et al. · 2 May 2024

With increased worldwide energy demand and carbon dioxide emissions from the use of fossil fuels, severe problems are being experienced in modern times. Energy is one of the most important resources for humankind, and its needs have been drastically increasing due to energy consumption, the rapid depletion of fossil fuels, and environmental crises. Therefore, it…

First Study on Ammonia Spray Characteristics with a Current GDI Engine Injector

Ronan Pelé, Christine Mounaïm–Rousselle, Pierre Bréquigny et al. · 25 Jun 2021

Using carbon free energy sources is one of the keys to mitigate climate change. Hydrogen promises to be one of these carbon free energies, but its storage is difficult and expensive. Ammonia, however, is interesting as it can store hydrogen safely and can be used in combustion engines instead of hydrocarbon fuels. In this experimental…

Biogas Production from Organic Wastes: Integrating Concepts of Circular Economy

Marcos Ellacuriaga, José García-Cascallana, Xiomar Gómez · 29 Apr 2021

Anaerobic digestion is traditionally used for treating organic materials. This allows the valorization of biogas and recycling of nutrients thanks to the land application of digestates. However, although this technology offers a multitude of advantages, it is still far from playing a relevant role in the energy market and from having significant participation in decarbonizing…

Towards the Commercialization of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells: Recent Advances in Materials and Integration Strategies

Catarina Mendonça, António Ferreira, Diogo M.F. Santos · 9 Oct 2021

The solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) has become a promising energy conversion technology due to its high efficiency and low environmental impact. Though there are several reviews on the topic of SOFCs, comprehensive reports that simultaneously combine the latest developments in materials and integration strategies are very limited. This paper not only addresses those issues…

The Operating Parameters, Structural Composition, and Fuel Sustainability Aspects of PEM Fuel Cells: A Mini Review

Muhammad Tawalbeh, Suma Al-Arab, Amani Al–Othman et al. · 3 Aug 2022

This mini review discusses the sustainability aspects of various fuels for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). PEMFCs operate by converting the chemical energy in a fuel into electrical energy. The most crucial parameters in the operation process are the temperature, pressure, relative humidity, and air stoichiometry ratio, as presented in this work. The classical…

Fuels template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Fuels format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Fuels template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Fuels use?
Fuels uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Fuels 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Fuels?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Fuels document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
