Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The topic of "Sustainability of Waste Recovery on Renewable Energy Systems" addresses one of the most critical challenges in achieving a sustainable future. The increasing worldwide energy demand and the urgent need to address environmental consequences make research into new waste recovery methods essential for integration into renewable energy systems. This field supports global sustainability objectives while offering new ways to use resources better and lower carbon emissions while improving energy efficiency. We can create pathways to a circular economy through waste recovery initiatives that will result in more resilient and eco-friendly energy systems.
This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research that explores the development, optimization, and implementation of waste recovery techniques within renewable energy systems. This subject aligns closely with the journal's scope by emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches that address energy sustainability, technological advancements, and their societal implications. We hope this initiative will stimulate collaboration among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, fostering innovation and expanding the body of knowledge in this field.
Suggested themes.
- Novel technologies for waste recovery in renewable energy applications.
- Life-cycle analysis of integrated waste recovery and renewable energy systems.
- Socioeconomic and environmental impacts of sustainable waste recovery practices.
- Policy and regulatory frameworks supporting waste-to-energy systems.
- Computational modeling and optimization of waste recovery heat.
- Experimental assessment of waste recovery technologies on renewable energy systems.
- Advances in energy storage and conversion using recovered waste resources.
- Case studies and best practices for implementing waste recovery in renewable energy projects.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
