Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The recovery of energy from waste and biomass has picked up pace globally in recent years, with large-scale facilities being developed commercially. Waste-to-energy processes typically require an annual feedstock of over 200 kpta, which is well-suited to densely populated areas/regions. This Special Issue seeks to publish the state-of-the-art research in smaller technologies which could be deployed at a town scale, where other opportunites and benefits may arise. These could include the production of liquid fuels and chemicals, reduced carbon impacts due to reduced feedstock transportation, small-scale carbon-capture and storage, etc.
