Preface

The 2020 International Symposium on Energy Environment and Green Development (EEGD 2020) was held in Chongqing, China in its first year during November 20-22, 2020. The conference aims to promote an exchange of recent and advanced information among scientists and engineers in the wide field of "energy", "environment" and "green development". The forum also aims particularly at promoting communication and collaboration between fundamental researchers and those engaged in the development of practical technology in respective areas of energy and environment.

We were greatly honor to have invited Prof. Hui-Mi Hsu from National Dong-Hwa University and Prof. Bang-Fuh Chen from National Sun Yat-sen University Kaohsiung, Taiwan, China to serve as our Conference Chairman. A total of 100 people attended the conference, including three keynote speakers and eight scholars to share academic reports.

The conference model was divided into two sessions, including oral presentations and keynote speeches. In the first part, some scholars, whose submissions were selected as the excellent papers, were given 15 minutes to perform their oral presentations one by one. Then in the second part, keynote speakers were each allocated 30-45 minutes to hold their speeches. In the keynote presentations part, our beloved Conference Chair, Prof. Hui-Mi Hsu, presented his latest research: Study on Permeability and Micro-structures of Non-cement Blended Composites. His study aimed to conduct in the mixture of non-cement blended materials using the combination of CFB co-fired fly ash and ground-granulated blast furnace slag without alkali activator. The effect of water/binder ratio, fly ash content and slag content on mechanical properties and microstructures has investigated. The second keynote speaker, Prof. Henry Hu, from University of Windsor. His research area: Environmentally friendly Lightweight Automotive Materials. Assoc. Prof. Zawawi Bin Daud, University Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, as our finale keynote speakers, presented his speech: Municipal Solid Waste Management in Malaysia. On his speech, he discussed finding a sustainable method for leachate treatment has always been a priority for landfill managers in order to safely discharge treated leachate into the water bodies without endangering the environment.

The conference provided a forum for discussing Energy Environment and Green Development and in particular for promoting the interchange of novel ideas and the presentations of the latest developments in this field. This conference will also provide an ideal environment to develop new collaborations and meet experts on the fundamentals, applications, and products of the mentioned fields.

EEGD 2020 is to bring together innovative academics and industrial experts in the field of Energy Environment and Green Development to a common forum. Therefore, we compiled a lot of excellent papers featuring the latest advanced studies on the following topics: Energy Science and Engineering, Environmental Science and Engineering, Green Development and other related topics. All the papers have been through rigorous review and process to meet the requirements of International publication standard.

We would like to acknowledge all of those who have supported EEGD 2020. Each individual and institutional help were very important for the success of this conference. Especially we would like to thank the organizing committee for their valuable advices in the organization and helpful peer review of the papers.
