Studies on Clean and Sustainable Energy Utilization

Dear Colleagues,

Pursuing clean and sustainable energy solutions has been critical in the face of growing energy demands and increasing environmental concerns. This Special Issue seeks to gather ground-breaking research and practical advancements that push the boundaries of generating, using, and using sustainable energy.

We are particularly interested in contributions that address the following areas:

• Innovative Waste Incineration Technologies: Exploring new methods to make waste incineration cleaner and more efficient, including advancements in energy recovery and pollution control.
• Dioxin Emission Control: Investigating the formation and suppression of dioxins in incineration processes and the latest technologies for their adsorption, filtration, and catalytic degradation.
• Safe and Sustainable Fly Ash Management: Approaches to minimize the environmental impact of fly ash, including methods for its safe disposal and potential resource recovery.
• Smart Systems for Waste Resource Utilization: Development of intelligent systems and databases to optimize the resource utilization of solid wastes, aiming for higher efficiency and sustainability.
• CO₂ Capture, Utilization, and Storage: Cutting-edge research on technologies for capturing, utilizing, and storing CO₂, focusing on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and integrating these processes into existing energy systems.
• Resource Recovery from Waste: Innovative strategies for converting waste materials into valuable resources, supporting the move towards a circular economy.

This Special Issue aims to serve as a forum for sharing innovative research contributing to the global effort to transition to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future. We welcome submissions offering new perspectives, presenting experimental results, or introducing technological innovations.

We look forward to your contributions to this Special Issue.
