Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Maximizing the utilization of renewable energy resources is vital for achieving decarbonization, ensuring energy security, addressing climate change, and meeting growing energy demands in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Polygeneration and decentralized energy production stand as pivotal strategies to enhance efficiency, productivity, compactness, and cost-effectiveness across various renewable energy systems. Polygeneration involves generating multiple useful energy forms, encompassing electricity, hot water, distilled water, heating/cooling, and even outputs like hydrogen or pressurized air. These systems can be partially or fully powered by renewable sources such as solar, geothermal, biomass, and wind systems. While the concept is compelling, it introduces complexity, necessitating meticulous design, optimization, control, and management to ensure sustainable development. Further research is essential to advance the potential of polygeneration in renewable energy systems. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for discussing the advancements and innovations of these systems, regardless of the source or output mix. We welcome contributions showcasing newly conceptualized systems, novel models, optimization approaches, techno-economic analysis, control strategies, and life cycle analyses.

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. Sustainability 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.
