Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Enhancement in thermal energy storage reduces the mismatch between energy supply and energy demand, ensuring reliability and increasing the efficiency of many energy technologies, such as solar thermal systems. The main challenges faced by researchers include the environmental impact, limited energy supply and fossil fuel sources. The issues of the intermittent availability, the relatively high cost of the installation and the maintenance made the move to more sustainable and environmentally friendly sources, such as solar and wind energies, to be less competitive in energy markets. This Special Issue will investigate the following topics: thermal energy technologies, thermal energy analysis, sustainable thermal energy, thermal energy efficiency, thermal energy storage, thermal energy emissions, thermal energy management, thermal energy economies and related policies. The relevant areas include, but are not limited to, the following:
▪ Challenges in the thermal energy sector;
▪ Thermal energy supply and demand in different sectors;
▪ Sustainable thermal energy systems;
▪ Phase change materials in latent heat-thermal energy systems;
▪ Thermal energy technologies and applications;
▪ Thermal energy consumption and savings;
▪ Thermal energy policies;
▪ Thermal energy incentive and social benefits;
▪ Renewable energy integration.

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.
