Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With global emissions rising at an alarming rate, cities and companies are transitioning towards cleaner resources, fuels, energy, and technologies. Clean technologies could conserve natural resources and reduce pollution from extraction, manufacturing, and disposal. In addition, in a paradigm shift towards resource sustainability and the circular economy, wastes and wastewater streams are now recognized as sources of valuable resources, including clean water, precious metals, renewable energy, and nutrients. No longer the culprit of environmental pollution, diverse wastewater treatment and waste resource recovery now form an important part of governmental energy strategies, national security, and daily life. In this Special Issue, we aim to gather high-quality research outcomes on the recent advances in innovations for clean technologies. Specifically, the Issue will cover the following topics (though not limited to these):
- Clean energy material and technology;
- Wastewater treatment;
- Renewable Energy;
- Carbon capture, use, and storage;
- Green materials and novel catalysts;
- Novel biochar production processes, technologies, and systems.
