Special Issue – ASME JERTA

The International ICE Forward Symposium (ICEFS 2026) will provide with the opportunity to publish the selected papers in a dedicated Special Issue of the ASME Journal of Energy Resources Technology – Part A -  Sustainable and Renewable Energy (JERTA).

Scope of the Special Issue

The Special Issue will focus on innovation and emerging development trends in internal combustion engines and ICE-based powertrains, with particular emphasis on technologies enabling improved efficiency and reduced environmental impact.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

• Advanced combustion concepts and high-efficiency engine architectures
• Alternative and low-carbon fuels (e-fuels, biofuels, hydrogen, ammonia, etc.)
• Emissions reduction technologies and aftertreatment systems
• Hybrid powertrains and electrification-enabling solutions for ICE
• Advanced control strategies, diagnostics, and AI/ML applications
• Modeling, simulation, and digital tools for design and optimization
• Experimental methods and advanced measurement techniques
• Durability, reliability, and lifecycle/sustainability assessment

Following the symposium, the selected contributions will be invited to be extended to a full-length journal paper to the Special Issue of JERTA.

Additional information (guest editors, timeline, and submission instructions) will be announced on this page as soon as available.
