A wide variety of fuels are covered:
- Fuel cells
- Coke
- Hydrogen generation and use
- Oils and gases
- Synthetic fuels (including Dimethyl ether (DME), Methanol etc)
- Biofuels
- Advances in catalysis in sustainable fuels
- Natural gas
- Advances in materials for energy

Fuel and Elsevier Policy for Declaration of generative AI in scientific writing
Where authors use generative artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process, authors should only use these technologies to improve readability and language. Applying the technology should be done with human oversight and control, and authors should carefully review and edit the result, as AI can generate authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete or biased. AI and AI-assisted technologies should not be listed as an author or co-author, or be cited as an author. Authorship implies responsibilities and tasks that can only be attributed to and performed by humans, as outlined in Elsevier’s AI policy for authors.
Authors should disclose in their manuscript the use of AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process by following the instructions below. A statement will appear in the published work. Please note that authors are ultimately responsible and accountable for the contents of the work.
