Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Solid wastes play an important role in dealing with the climate crisis and environmental pollution after the adoption of the Paris Agreement (PA). In comparison with other renewable sources, biomass and waste are unique as they can be converted to various high-value products (liquid fuels, chemicals, and solid materials). Accordingly, solid waste conversion is becoming a key research topic due to the possible economic benefit regarding the availability and often negative costs of the feedstock. However, due to the increased heterogeneity of waste materials compared to biomass, the technical issues associated with these processes become more challenging, particularly regarding gas cleaning and upgrading to valuable end products. Overall, an effective solid waste conversion system must be both environmentally and economically safe and suitable.
This Special Issue aims to represent recent advances in basic research and technological development of renewable energy through high-value utilization of different solid waste fuels. It aims to provide a comprehensive and cutting-edge multidisciplinary analysis of the thermochemical conversion route for different solid wastes. The aforementioned scope will facilitate the development of advanced techniques for exploring efficient solid waste utilization processes in the future. Original research and review manuscripts related to the newly emerging fields of renewable and sustainable energies from solid waste are especially welcomed.

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.
