Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy - Call for Papers for a Special Issue: Sustainable Solutions to Environmental Footprint Mitigation by Integrating Technology Improvement and Policy Implementation

Technology development, process optimisation and waste recovery play an essential part in environmental sustainability. However, they will not work without practical considerations. This Special Issue calls for papers demonstrating the integration of technology and policy solutions toward saving resources and emissions. Integrating technology and policy solutions should focus on, but are not limited to, the following topics:
•    Heat Integration and energy saving
•    Total Site Integration
•    Industrial process retrofit and improvement
•    Renewable energy and utility systems
•    Process simulation
•    Systems and product synthesis
•    Mathematical optimisation
•    Process analysis and modelling
•    Heat exchangers and heat transfer
•    Cleaner production
•    Footprint minimisation and mitigation
•    Circular Economy and integration
•    Power systems design and optimisation
•    Sustainable energy planning
•    Operations and supply chain management
•    Waste and wastewater management
•    Waste-to-energy
•    Process dynamics and control
•    Reactor and catalyst engineering
•    Fluid dynamics
•    Sustainable materials
•    Knowledge transfer
•    Energy Storage
