Abstract. Sustainable development strives to fulfill present human needs while safeguarding the
ability of future generations to meet their own requirements. Climate change is frequently identified
as a major obstacle to realizing this goal. Our current dependence on fossil fuels for energy production
is the primary contributor to global climate change. The pivotal solution lies in transitioning to
sustainable energy generation by using natural resources like the sun, water, wind, biomass, and
others. This shift is fundamental to mitigating climate change and preserving the environment.
Utilizing these sources instead of fossil fuels markedly diminishes greenhouse gas emissions, helps in
the establishment of a carbon-free global economy. This special edition in Comptes Rendus Chimie
(CRC) delves into recent research exploring the role of natural materials, particularly waste, in the
production of sustainable energy and environmental protection against both gaseous and liquid
pollutants.
Keywords. Sustainable energy, Environmental protection, Waste.

1. Introduction
Nowadays, global economic expansion heavily relies
on the energy sector. Most of the consumed energy is
still derived from fossil fuels combustion. This prac-
tice has detrimental effects on both human health
and environmental ecosystems. Local air pollution
and global warming are usually linked to the emis-
sion of various greenhouse gases (GHGs) from non-
renewable energy systems. Addressing these adverse
impacts underscores the urgent need for the global
development of innovative and sustainable strategies

in renewable energy production and storage. Conse-
quently, the transition to sustainable energy was con-
sidered a focal point in both the Paris Agreement on
climate change and the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs). For instance, The SDG7
main objective is “Ensure access to affordable, reli-
able, sustainable and modern energy for all”.
Sustainable energy is derived from renewable and
diverse sources, with minimal to no generation of
GHGs or other pollutants. Embracing this shift in en-
ergy production holds the potential to address vari-
ous challenges, including ensuring energy supply se-
curity, preserving the environment, promoting social
well-being, and fostering economic development.
A significant focus has been placed on developing
eco-friendly, clean, cost-effective, and scalable tech-

nologies not only for energy production but also for
its storage. The use of materials plays a crucial role in
advancing the transition to sustainable energy, mak-
ing it a promising research avenue for the upcoming
decades. In this context, the valorization of abundant
and recyclable materials holds a particular interest,
offering innovative and cost-effective solutions for
both energy recovery and environmental protection
against pollution.
Recent studies emphasize a significant interest in
utilizing organic materials, such as biomasses, as
promising alternatives to fossil fuels. Simultaneously,
these materials offer a sustainable approach to man-
aging large solid wastes effectively. These materi-
als can serve as low-cost sources for renewable en-
ergy recovery. Various thermochemical technolo-
gies are being explored for this purpose, including
gasification, hydrothermal carbonization, pyrolysis,
etc. Some of these technologies, such as pyrolysis,
generate solid residues that can add substantial val-
ues to different sectors, including agriculture and the
environment. For instance, these residues can be
employed as slow-release fertilizers, replacing syn-
thetic and commercial fertilizers and thereby signif-
icantly reducing associated GHGs emissions. Addi-
tionally, when applied as soil amendments in agricul-
ture, these materials exhibit a remarkable ability to
sequester carbon and nitrogen emissions and to sup-
ply the plants with the required minerals for their de-
velopment. Moreover, these raw or modified mate-
rials can efficiently contribute to treating liquid and
gaseous effluents, offering an alternative to expen-
sive materials like activated carbons and other envi-
ronmentally detrimental technologies.
The current special issue in the journal “Comptes
Rendus Chimie” is entitled: “Materials and clean
processes for sustainable energy and environmen-
tal applications”. It is intended to provide an up-
date on the most recent research activities regarding
the use of natural/advanced materials as well as eco-
friendly industrial processes for the promotion of
sustainable energy production and also environment
protection.
2. Outcomes
This special issue comprises 14 papers that have
undergone peer review process. The papers delve
into various subjects, including: (i) the utilization of
cost-effective materials for sustainable energy pro-
duction, (ii) the application of both raw and mod-
ified materials in treating effluents for subsequent
use within the framework of a circular economy, and
(iii) the significance of generating sustainable energy
in mitigating climate change and safeguarding the
environment.
The first part of this special issue focuses on the
optimization of experimental conditions for the pro-
duction of renewable energy from various materi-
als [1–5]. For example, Yerizam et al. [1] report that
increasing the use of deep eutectic solvents and nat-
ural deep eutectic solvents enhances the delignifica-
tion efficiency and consequently leads to increased
bioethanol production from coconut husk wastes.
Additionally, Kerras et al. [2] demonstrate that pre-
treating waste cooking oil with ultrasounds or mi-
crowave irradiations significantly reduces its acidity,
resulting in higher biodiesel production yields (96–
98%). Moreover, based on a study in a rural Pak-
istani area, Junejo et al. [3] confirm that the use
of natural draft improved cook stoves reduces fuel
wood consumption as well as the emissions of car-
bon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and particulate mat-
ter. Similarly, the thermochemical conversion of a
local Moroccan wood “Ficus nitida” through pyrol-
ysis under various experimental conditions was in-
vestigated [4]. The results indicate that the pro-
duced biochars exhibit a high calorific value and a
high percentage of carbon. However, the bio-oil pro-
duced requires an upgrading step due to the pres-
ence of high contents of aliphatic, phenolic ketones,
and aromatic groups. Likewise, enhanced physico-
chemical and energetic properties of biochars can be
achieved by blending orange peels with various agro-
food wastes, and especially peanut shells and coffee
grounds [5].
The current special issue also explores the extrac-
tion of specific materials from waste or by-products,
as well as the modification of these materials for pur-
poses related to energy, the environment, and diet [6–
9]. Within this context, an innovative method was
tested to effectively separate PVC from PET fibers in
PVC-coated fabric waste [6]. Additionally, safeguard-
ing mild steel against bio-corrosion was achieved by
coating it with polyetherimide-ZnO or CuO bilayer
composites [7]. Furthermore, a study emphasized
the significance of heat, as well as a combination of
heat and ultrafiltration operations, in influencing the
Salah Jellali et al. 5
bacterial activity of a model protein (lysozyme) [8].
Lastly, the successful production of a dietary sup-
plement from spirulina and date stones was demon-
strated [9]. These tablets were proven to be a rich
source of essential nutrients and various active in-
gredients such as phenolic compounds and phyco-
cyanin.
This special issue also includes relevant papers
addressing the utilization of specific materials de-
rived from wastes for environmental and agricul-
tural purposes [10–13]. Within this context, Hosni
et al. [10] demonstrate that calcined double-layered
hydroxides can exhibit noteworthy treatment ef-
ficiency for olive mill wastewater. Furthermore,
Nouira et al. [11] reveal that activated carbons gen-
erated from water bottle wastes effectively remove
herbicides from synthetic aqueous effluents. More-
over, these materials possess properties comparable
to sub-bituminous and bituminous products. Ad-
ditionally, biochars produced from olive mill solid
and liquid wastes were found to positively influence
agricultural soil and plant growth characteristics [12].
Lastly, the use of titanium-based metal oxide anodes
is found to be highly effective for bacteria electro-
oxidation [13].
In a final contribution, Papamichael et al. [14] il-
lustrate that the current system employed for en-
vironmental impact assessment studies in Greece
could be significantly enhanced through improved
cooperation between organizations responsible for
environmental affairs, environmental education, and
social training.
