Preface

Since energy is identified by many as one of humanity’s most significant problems, clean energy solutions are recognized as the only option to achieve a more sustainable future. The prerequisite of this is to develop novel energy systems and implement them accordingly for practical applications. The second volume of this edited book entitled Progress in Clean Energy focuses on novel systems and their applications and contains 76 uniquely selected papers out of the conference papers presented in the 13th International Conference on Clean Energy (ICCE-2014), which was held in Istanbul, Turkey, on June 8–12, 2014. This distinctive event was organized not only to bring all the researchers, scientists, policy makers, and engineers conducting research on the clean energy field together, but also to honor Dr. Veziroglu’s 90th birthday in Istanbul, which is also his birthplace. This conference provided a forum for the exchange of lat
