Environmental Pollution Control and Renewable Energy Conversion Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid development of industrialization and urbanization has led to significant environmental challenges, including air and water pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and the accumulation of solid waste. At the same time, the global transition toward sustainable and low-carbon energy systems requires innovative technologies for clean energy production, resource recovery, and pollution mitigation. The integration of environmental pollution control and renewable energy conversion technologies not only helps improve environmental quality but also supports the efficient utilization of resources and enhances energy security.

This Special Issue on “Environmental Pollution Control and Renewable Energy Conversion Technologies” seeks high-quality original research articles, reviews, and case studies focusing on the development, optimization, and application of advanced technologies for pollution reduction and clean energy generation. Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Air and water pollution control technologies;
• Biomass thermochemical and biochemical conversion;
• Waste-to-energy and carbon-neutral technologies;
• Catalytic and non-catalytic processes for pollution abatement;
• Advanced oxidation and reduction processes;
• Hydrogen production and storage from renewable resources;
• Process modeling, simulation, and system optimization;
• Life cycle assessment (LCA) and techno-economic analysis of clean technologies;
• Integration of AI, machine learning, and smart control in pollution and energy systems.

We welcome contributions from academic researchers, industry professionals, and policy experts who work at the intersection of environmental science and renewable energy engineering.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes 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 2400 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.
