Sustainable Energy Transition and Environment Assessment

Dear Colleagues,

The energy transition, also known as the shift from fossil-based energy systems to low-carbon and renewable energy sources, is critical to addressing climate change. Environmental analyses guide the energy transition, as they provide valuable insights into the technical, economic, and social aspects of adopting renewable energy sources and mitigating climate change impacts.

Renewable energy sources are essential due to their potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and curb reliance on fossil fuels. However, the integration of renewable energy into existing energy systems requires the consideration of various aspects, such as resource availability, intermittency, storage, and grid infrastructure, which necessitates sophisticated and comprehensive analyses.

Furthermore, the urgency of addressing climate change cannot be overstated in the context of energy transition. As the world faces the challenges of rising temperatures, changing weather patterns, and environmental degradation, transitioning to renewable energy sources is crucial to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Complex analyses play a pivotal role in evaluating the environmental, social, and economic impacts of energy systems, assessing the potential risks and benefits of renewable energy deployment, and informing policy and decision-making processes.

Research papers that contribute to the understanding of renewable energy sources, and climate change aspects in the context of energy transition are highly encouraged and welcomed to advance the knowledge and inform evidence-based policies in this critical field.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
