Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues:
The global transition toward net-zero emissions requires clean-energy technologies that can improve the conversion of renewable resources,recover otherwise wasted energy,valorize residual materials, and increase the overall efficiency of energy systems.These challenges require integrated advances in thermofluids,renewable-energy conversion,sustainable fuels,thermal management,energy materials, and system optimization.
This Special Issue,“Advanced Clean Energy Conversion, Circular Fuels, and Thermal Management for Net-Zero Transformation,” aims to provide an interdisciplinary platform for recent developments in clean and sustainable energy technologies. It focuses on engineering approaches that improve energy-conversion efficiency,reduce dependence on fossil resources,and support the circular use of materials and energy.
The Special Issue welcomes experimental,numerical,analytical,and data-driven studies addressing renewable and low-carbon energy conversion;green hydrogen production and utilization;biomass and waste valorization; gasification, pyrolysis, hydrothermal conversion, and sustainable fuels; photovoltaic and photovoltaic/thermal technologies; solar thermal systems;waste-heat recovery; thermoelectric energy conversion;thermal energy storage and phase-change materials;advanced heat-transfer enhancement;energy-efficient equipment;and integrated multi-energy systems.
Research involving computational fluid dynamics,thermodynamic and exergy analysis,optimization, machine learning, life-cycle assessment, techno-economic analysis, reliability assessment, and experimental validation is particularly encouraged.Studies connecting technological performance with resource efficiency,environmental sustainability,circular economy principles,and deployment under tropical or emerging-economy conditions are also welcome.
The Special Issue aligns with the transition toward affordable and clean energy (SDG 7)while supporting responsible resource use,industrial innovation,and the broader objective of net-zero transformation.
Potential contributions may address clean-energy technologies from component and material scales through complete energy-conversion systems,thereby connecting fundamental engineering advances with practical pathways toward efficient,resilient,and sustainable energy infrastructure.
