What is it about?
This Special Issue brings together a collection of studies that blend cutting-edge theory with practical solutions to tackle real-world problems as climate change and energy efficiency. From finding better ways to turn wheat straw into a viable fuel source to boosting the performance of thermoelectric generators and heat transformers with AI, these articles cover a lot of ground. They dive into optimizing battery cooling systems, predicting device temperatures, and fine-tuning expanders for better energy use. There’s also research on making autoclaves more efficient, using organic Rankine cycles for power and cooling, and controlling greenhouse temperatures with geothermal heat pumps. Plus, there are deep dives into reducing emissions in Mexico’s electricity system and tackling industrial air pollution in China. With innovative approaches to heat diffusion and energy storage, these papers aim to inspire young researchers and move the needle toward a more sustainable future.

Why is it important?
The core idea of the text is all about bringing together smart theories and real-world data to tackle big issues like sustainability and energy efficiency. Through clever simulations and math models, the studies in this Special Issue work to make energy systems better and cut down on environmental harm, like greenhouse gas emissions. It’s about connecting the dots between research and practical solutions to help build a greener, more sustainable world.
Perspectives
The next step for you is to take its exciting ideas and turn them into a real-world impact. This means testing solutions like better wheat straw fuels, smarter thermoelectric generators, or AI-powered heat systems in actual industries to see how they hold up. It’s also about getting young researchers, companies, and policymakers to team up, sparking new collaborations to make these green technologies a reality. Plus, diving deeper into new materials or cutting-edge AI, sharing these discoveries at conferences, and pushing for funding and policies to back sustainable energy could take things further. By doing this, these studies can go from brainy concepts to practical changes that help build a cleaner, greener planet.
