The global imperative to transition towards a low-carbon economy has never been more urgent. Energy-intensive industries—spanning sectors like metals, ceramics, glass, paper, and chemicals—are at the forefront of this challenge, grappling with substantial energy demands and the associated environmental footprints. Addressing these com plexities requires innovative solutions in combined heat and power (CHP) generation, renewable energy integration, and waste heat re covery. This special issue of the International Journal of Thermofluids, titled "Low Carbon Combined Heat and Power Technologies and Re newables for Energy-Intensive Industries," presents a collection of timely research that illuminates pathways toward a more sustainable industrial future.

Abstract
The global imperative to transition towards a low-carbon economy has never been more urgent. Energy-intensive industries—spanning sectors like metals, ceramics, glass, paper, and chemicals—are at the forefront of this challenge, grappling with substantial energy demands and the associated environmental footprints. Addressing these com plexities requires innovative solutions in combined heat and power (CHP) generation, renewable energy integration, and waste heat re covery. This special issue of the International Journal of Thermofluids, titled "Low Carbon Combined Heat and Power Technologies and Re newables for Energy-Intensive Industries," presents a collection of timely research that illuminates pathways toward a more sustainable industrial future. The papers within this issue underscore the multifaceted approach necessary for decarbonization.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
