Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The severe energy crisis and ecological pollution worldwide have had adverse effects on the sustainable development of countries globally, posing a serious threat to the long-term prosperity of humanity. These challenges are mainly attributed to the enormous energy consumption and pollutant emissions in industrial production and operation. Fortunately, in the current severe energy and environmental situation, many countries around the world have begun to promote low-carbon and energy-saving energy transformations, especially the emergence of advanced waste heat storage and recycling methods, which have brought unprecedented opportunities and challenges for industrial energy conservation and low-carbon development. In various industries, storing and utilizing waste heat is considered an effective method to overcome system intermittency, improve system economic efficiency, save energy, and reduce emissions. However, due to differences in waste energy levels and industries, the potential for waste heat recovery and storage methods also varies. The thermal performance, economic benefits, and environmental benefits of waste heat recovery systems also need to be discussed in depth.
This Special Issue aims to introduce and disseminate the latest developments related to the theory, design, modeling, and application of advanced waste heat storage and recovery technologies.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced waste heat storage technology and its application;
- Advanced waste heat utilization methods and applications;
- Optimization methods for waste heat recovery systems;
- Modeling methods for waste heat recovery systems;
- Thermal economics of waste heat recovery systems.

Manuscript Submission Information
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. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short 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 thoroughly refereed through a single-blind 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 semimonthly 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 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
