About This Special Issue
Governments worldwide have taken steps to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Mass lockdowns have resulted in high domestic energy demand and increased waste production. The increased waste generation could harm the environment. However, a proper waste treatment strategy could produce energy and minimize the emission of hazardous pollutants. This special issue seeks to receive novel research on the techno-economic analysis of energy generation from the COVID-19 era waste using waste-to-energy technologies. Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts that bridge the gaps between research, development, and implementation. The breadth of coverage ranges from innovative technologies and systems of both fossil and renewable energy to the economic, industrial, and domestic use of energy with no or minor impact on the environment. The special issue is also concerned with the attendant problems of modeling and forecasting, conservation strategies, environmental and economic impacts of energy production and usage, including climate change mitigation and other environmental pollution reduction.
