Abstract

Environmental problems associated with global energy supply systems and the increasing amount of global solid waste production are triggering a shift towards a greater reliance on biomass waste. Waste-to-energy systems have become important for industries and scientists because of the increasing interest in energy production from waste, due to improved efficiency and cost-effective solutions. The shift to biomass is also essential for industries to use their own waste to produce their own energy, which is in line with circular economy concepts. This Special Issue “Biomass Wastes for Energy Production” of Energies comprises ten (10) papers, including one review article, that represent the latest advances of waste-to-energy technologies and contribute to the rethinking of global energy supply systems. The Guest Editor also highlights other relevant topics that fall beyond the coverage of the published articles.
