Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
This Special Issue on "Advanced Waste-to-Energy Technologies" aims to explore cutting-edge innovations and research in the field of energy generation from various waste sources. The focus of this Special Issue will be on novel technologies and sustainable approaches that allow for the efficient conversion of waste materials into valuable energy resources. By showcasing advancements in waste-to-energy systems, this Special Issue intends to contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy landscape.
The scope of this Special Issue encompasses a broad range of topics related to Waste-to-Energy Technologies, including but not limited to:
- Waste-to-Energy Conversion Technologies: In-depth exploration of different waste conversion processes, such as incineration, pyrolysis, gasification, anaerobic digestion, and emerging technologies like plasma gasification;
- Biomass and Municipal Solid Waste Utilization: Research on utilizing biomass, agricultural residues, and municipal solid waste as renewable energy sources to produce electricity, heat, or biofuels;
- Waste-to-Energy Integration with Circular Economy: Examining the integration of waste-to-energy systems with the principles of the circular economy to maximize resource efficiency and minimize waste generation;
- Energy Recovery from Industrial and Electronic Waste: Investigations into techniques for harnessing energy from industrial by-products, electronic waste, and other non-conventional waste streams;
- Technological Innovations and Efficiency Enhancement: Advancements in waste-to-energy technologies, process optimization, and efficiency improvement for better energy conversion;
- Environmental Impacts and Sustainability: Studies on the environmental impact assessment and life cycle analysis of waste-to-energy processes to ensure sustainability and adherence to environmental regulations;
- Policy, Economics, and Social Aspects: Exploration of policy frameworks, economic viability, and social acceptance of waste-to-energy technologies.
The "Advanced Waste-to-Energy Technologies" Special Issue will serve as a platform for researchers, engineers, policymakers, and stakeholders to exchange knowledge, share insights, and promote sustainable solutions in the realm of waste-to-energy conversion for a cleaner and greener energy future.
