Special Issue Information
Today’s diverse solid waste management plans, implemented internationally, include, reducing, recycling, reusing as much waste as practicable but what remains is either landfilled or combusted at waste-to-energy facilities. Electricity and/or steam are produced in modern waste-to-energy facilities while metals are recovered and recycled. In many regions of the world, the bottom ash, which represents 85% of the combustion residuals, is processed creating an engineered aggregate and used in diverse applications. The remaining fly ash is typically treated and disposed. This special issue will focus, in part, on advances in facility design, implementation of state of the art air pollution control strategies, metal recovery and recycling, ash management and beneficial utilization and the differences in regulations and permitting implemented by various nations. Submissions addressing the environmental implications associated with incorporating waste-to-energy as a solid waste management strategy are encouraged. A primary goal of this special issue is to compile a global perspective on waste-to-energy technology and the associated issues surrounding this waste management strategy.

Submission
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. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as 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 refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed Open Access monthly 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 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs).
