Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Improving energy efficiency and recovering waste heat is crucial in addressing global energy challenges and can help us quickly achieve net zero goals while meeting the growing energy demand. Researchers, engineers, and industry professionals can use this Special Issue as a platform to share their findings, inspiring further innovation and driving progress toward a more energy-efficient and sustainable world. The focus of this Special Issue is on cutting-edge research and innovative solutions where waste heat recovery was applied to enhance energy efficiency. This includes advances in materials, design methodologies, modeling and optimization tools, and innovative integrated systems. We welcome original research in the topics including, but not limited to, Energy Efficiency Enhancement and Waste Heat Recovery in:
- Renewable energy systems.
- Cooling, heating, and heating-to-cooling systems.
- Power generation from combustion generators, including mini and micro-grid scales.
- Process, food, and other heat-intensive industries (glass, cement, steel, aluminum, etc.).
- Domestic sector and urban environments.
- Electric devices and EVs, including cooling.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
