EDITORIAL

This volume has been dedicated to the problems which that are firmly at the forefront of the scientific as well as industrial, civic and societal interest. Energy saving is practiced for improving the efficiency, to minimise the consumption of fuels - fossil as well renewable, and to reduce Greenhouse and haze/smog footprints. This can be achieved by advanced design, management, operation and particularly by appropriate integration of manufacturing, power generation, transport, transmission and conversion of energy carriers, business and civic units and even agriculture. This includes water and wastewater minimisation and exploitation of low potential heat, hot and chilled wastewater.
However, they are not only emissions which are having a considerable impact on quality of life. The sustainable development also demands reduction of solid particles, including those, bellow 2.5 PM, effluent and waste. The authors of this volume contribution presented a number of approaches and even implementation aiming to tackle those sustainability issues.
The Guest Editors believe that the published papers will attract wide readership attention and contribute to the spreading the most recent research results in the field.
