The Handbook of Energy, Environment, and the Circular Economy covers a range of topics related to sustainable practices in energy production, consumption, and waste management. It explores strategies for integrating renewable energy sources into the economy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and promoting sustainable development that is in harmony with the natural environment.
The first volume contains chapters spanning topics from the future of fossil fuels, through wastewater management and electric vehicle (EV) battery recycling, all the way to sustainable business models. Coming from academia and industry, the editors and chapter authors are known for their didactic skills as well as their technical expertise. The text contains many high-quality colourful illustrations and examples, as well as thousands of up-to-date references to peer-reviewed articles, reports, and websites for further reading. This comprehensive and well-written handbook is a must-have reference for universities, research groups and companies working in the fields of energy, environment, and the circular economy.

Gadi Rothenberg is Professor and Chair of Heterogeneous Catalysis and Sustainable Chemistry at the University of Amsterdam (Uv A), The Netherlands, where he teaches courses on catalysis and workshops on scientific writing and innovation. His research interests include decarbonization, fuel cells, and creating value from waste. He is also interested in climate policy and economics. Rothenberg has published three books and over 250 papers in peer-reviewed journals, invented 16 patents, and co-founded the companies Sorbisense, Yellow Diesel and Plantics. His textbook Catalysis: Concepts & Green Applications is used by teachers and students worldwide. The impact of his work is reflected in several distinctions, including the European Commission Marie Curie Excellence Award, the Paul Rylander Award from the Organic Reactions Catalysis Society, and the ‘lecturer of the year’ award by the Uv A chemistry students. In 2017 he was appointed as Senior Visiting Scholar at Fudan University in Shanghai, China, and in 2018 he was appointed as Lady Davis Visiting Professor at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel. Since 2023, he is also the Technical Director of CO2 and Circular Economy at the Shanghai Institute for Clean Tech Innovation. For more information see Vitaly Gitis is a Professor and Head of the Energy Engineering Program at Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Israel (BGU), where he teaches courses on chemistry, separation processes, and alternative energy sources. His research interests embrace decarbonization, separation processes, and colloidal chemistry. Gitis received his M.Sc. degree from Moscow State Mining University, Russia, and his Ph D from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel. He then worked as a researcher at the United States’ Environmental Protection Agency in Cincinnati and at the IWW Water Centre in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany. Gitis has published over 70 peer-reviewed papers in international journals, co-authored the textbook Ceramic Membranes — New Opportunities and Practical Applications and co-edited Handbook of Porous Materials, and invented several patents. Since joining BGU, he has mentored over 50 graduate students. Eight of his graduates hold academic positions. Gitis serves on several scientific and management committees, including the International Water Association (IWA) Specialist Group on Particle Separation. In 2010 he was appointed as Marie Curie Visiting Professor at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and in 2018 he was appointed as Visiting Professor at the University of Adelaide, Australia.
