Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
One of the main global issues facing modern society is the rapidly increasing production of wastes. In many countries, sustainable waste management has become a major political priority. Waste-to-energy (WtE) or energy-from-waste (EfW) is the process of generating energy in the form of electricity and/or heat from the primary treatment of waste, or the processing of waste into a fuel source.
We are pleased to invite you to submit original research papers and critical review papers to a Special Issue of Energies on the topic of “Sustainable Waste Management and Potential for Waste-to-Energy”.
This Special Issue is seeking original contributions regarding recent developments and ideas in sustainable waste management and potential for WtE. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following: thermochemical and biological processes of waste treatment, energy recovery from wastes, energy harvesting and utilization, and life-cycle analysis (LCA) of waste management.

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).
