THE PROGRESS TOWARD MORE SUSTAINABLE ENERGY, WATER AND ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS APPROACHES AND APPLICATIONS

ABSTRACT
This editorial provides an overview of ten scientific articles published as the Special paper selection in Thermal Science. The papers were selected from almost six hundred contributions, presented at the 16th Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems (SDEWES 2021), held on October 10-15, 2021 in Dubrovnik, Croatia. The topics covered in the Special paper selection include economics of electricity markets, nuclear technology, repowering of the coal-based power plant, hybrid renewable energy system, sustainable biomass handling and conversion, post-combustion emissions control, and efficient cooling technology. The editorial also emphasised the papers recently published in the Special Issues of leading scientific journals dedicated to the series of SDEWES Conferences.
