As global awareness of environmental issues grows, governments worldwide are promoting policies which aim to limit the harmful effects of human development on the environment. In particular, these novel policies seek to address the rapid increase of the global temperature (especially in the polar regions) as well as to manage human plastic waste accumulating in seas. To resolve these issues will require a number of actions to be implemented; unfortunately, the recent COP 24 Conference was unsuccessful in establishing a global agreement to achieve these actions. In order for the upcoming 2020 COP 26 Conference to be successful in creating such an agreement, the scientific community must support the policymakers? efforts. Within this framework, it is necessary to show the efforts of countries worldwide as they try to negotiate an agreement to increase the energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In addition, the research reports generated can provide quantitative measures of the necessary actions to be implemented in order to address sustainable and efficient energy use. Among other topics, the papers presented in this issue investigate innovations in novel efficient and environmentally friendly technologies mainly based on renewable energy sources. The study also highlights the different sectors involved in this task, such as energy conversion systems, urban areas, mobility, sustainability, water management, social aspects, etc. In this field, the Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems (SDEWES) conference provides the foremost forum for discussion on these topics. The 13th Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems Conference was held in Palermo, Italy in 2018. This Special Issue of Energies, precisely dedicated to 13th SDEWES Conference, features papers in three main topics: Energy policy and energy efficiency in urban areas, energy efficiency in industry, biomass and other miscellaneous energy systems. 517 $aSelected Papers from SDEWES 2018 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $asewage sludge 610 $atorrefaction 610 $asteam gasification 610 $atars 610 $awater recycling 610 $awastewater treatment 610 $aenvironmental and energy performance 610 $alife cycle assessment (LCA) 610 $acrude oil refining 610 $ahigh-efficiency cogeneration 610 $aprimary energy saving 610 $aelectricity from cogeneration 610 $apaper industry 610 $aGateCycle 610 $aCO2 emissions avoided 610 $asinter 610 $aporous media 610 $alocal thermal non-equilibrium 610 $aexergy destruction minimization 610 $aBP neural network 610 $agenetic algorithm 610 $aurban simulation 610 $aphotovoltaics 610 $aheat pump 610 $aco-generation 610 $aheat demand analysis 610 $alow-temperature district heating 610 $adistrict cooling 610 $aenergy storage 610 $alinear programming 610 $atropical climate 610 $aintegrated energy modelling 610 $aenergy system optimization 610 $atemporal resolution 610 $aenergy planning 610 $avariable renewable energy sources 610 $aDiscrete Element Model 610 $agas?solid flow 610 $aheat transfer enhancement 610 $aentransy dissipation 610 $anumerical simulation 610 $aoptimization 610 $acontrol strategy 610 $apeak-shaving 610 $amCHP 610 $aStirling engine 610 $arenewable energy 610 $aenergy consumption profile 610 $aheavy truck traffic 610 $aroad transport 610 $aliquefied natural gas (LNG) 610 $aalternative fuels 610 $ahydrogen 610 $ahydrogen pipelines 610 $ahydrogen transmission 610 $apipeline transmission 610 $apressure drop 610 $apinch analysis 610 $aheat exchanger network (HEN) design 610 $aplus-minus principle 610 $asupply temperature 610 $adisturbances 610 $amaximum energy recovery 610 $abypass 610 $aeconomic evaluation 610 $atwo-phase flow regime 610 $aairlift pump 610 $avoid fraction 610 $aimage analysis 610 $aefficiency optimization 610 $aenergy microgrids 610 $aenergy system integration 610 $asmart building clusters 610 $ahybrid renewable systems 610 $aheat pumps 610 $adistrict heating 610 $acogeneration 610 $anatural gas 610 $anatural gas regulation station 610 $aturboexpander 610 $apressure regulator 610 $aenergy recovery 610 $aenergy conversion 610 $aenergy system analysis 610 $aflue gas heat recovery 610 $aexergy 610 $acoefficient of performance 610 $athermoelectric generator 610 $aorganic rankine cycle 610 $adistrict energy systems 610 $aanaerobic digestion and composting 610 $acircular economy 610 $aenergy return on investment 610 $ahydrogen bioenergy 610 $afood waste hierarchy 610 $abiofuel 610 $aCI engine 610 $acombustion 610 $aemission 610 $agreenhouse gas 610 $ajatropha biodiesel 610 $ananoparticle 610 $aperformance 610 $aCovenant of Mayors 610 $aindirect emission allocation 610 $alocal energy generation 610 $ageoenergetics 610 $aground source heat pumps 610 $aborehole heat exchangers 610 $athermal response test 610 $aborehole thermal energy storage 610 $abioelectricity 610 $acarbon capture 610 $anegative emissions 610 $asugarcane 610 $abiomass 610 $aclimate change 610 $awave energy converters 610 $aPower Take Off 610 $aEP4 610 $alatching 610 $awave flume 610 $afloating 610 $amoorings 610 $arenewable electricity generation systems 610 $aSDEWES 2018 610 $achicken manure 610 $aproximate and ultimate analysis 610 $aenergy potential 610 $asustainable smart city 610 $amathematical optimisation 610 $aurban design 610 $abilevel modelling 610 $alocation theory 610 $atraffic assignment 610 $ainfrastructure expansion 610 $abuilding location 610 $asustainable development 610 $aenergy efficiency in industry 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aDui?$b Neven$4edt$01330860 702 $ada Costa$b Mário$4edt 702 $aWang$b Qiuwang$4edt 702 $aCalise$b Francesco$4edt 702 $aĜstergaard$b Poul Alberg$4edt 702 $aDui?$b Neven$4oth 702 $ada Costa$b Mário$4oth 702 $aWang$b Qiuwang$4oth 702 $aCalise$b Francesco$4oth 702 $aĜstergaard$b Poul Alberg$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557286003321 996 $aSelected Papers from SDEWES 2018$93039986 997 $aUNINA
