Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The prospective of achieving the climate targets without the use of carbon-negative solutions has now become remote, let alone without the use of carbon capture and storage (CCS) from point emissions. Decarbonization of the industrial sector without the implementation of CCS is rather limited, and the potential is enormous. The waste-to-energy sector represents a golden opportunity as a first mover, as it affects the CO2 budget of municipalities and offers the potential for negative emissions in an eventually profitable scheme if negative emission legislation comes in place. It is an industry in full growth in all parts of the world, and is not subject to delocalization, making long-term investments a lesser risk. The integration of carbon capture technologies in the waste-to-energy sector is in its early stages. The first large-scale plant is in operation in Duiven (The Netherlands), with an installed capacity of 100 ktCO2/y which is delivered to the greenhouse market as growth booster, avoiding the use of natural gas. In Norway, the Netherlands, and Japan, pilot and demo plants are breaking ground and the industry is in need of research results and validation to pursue its efforts. In this Special Issue we intend to gather a compendium of studies pertaining to all aspects of capturing CO2 from the combustion of municipal and industrial wastes, its legal, political, and administrative aspects, and its transport obstacles from near-city sites. We welcome you to join us and submit your latest first-class research on these topics.

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.
