Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global trends in waste management, such as achieving the Net Zero goal by 2050 and RE100, are aimed at reducing waste generation and converting waste into energy. Recently, countries have been leveraging underutilized biomass resources and securing critical resources for the carbon-neutral era. This Special Issue shares the latest transformations within the waste management sector, which are in line with Net Zero, as well as emerging research trends in waste-to-energy conversion worldwide. In particular, we will identify trends in energy conversion research related to untapped biomass resources in different countries, with a view toward fostering technological and academic advancements.
This Special Issue will provide a perspective on technology advancements for waste-to-energy conversion and waste management practices within different countries, including:
- Waste-to-Energy technology;
- Biomass-to-Energy technology;
- Energy-harvesting technologies;
- Thermochemical conversion;
- Biological technology;
- Biochar production and conversion technologies;
- The application of biochar;
- Efficient energy conversion systems;
- Energy conversion and environmental management.
