This is a Reprint of the Special Issue Renewable Energy Sources towards a Zero-Emission Economy that was published in
Renewable energy sources are a key pillar of the transformation of the economy towards zero carbon emissions. Research into biomass, photovoltaics, wind energy, and hydropower plays an important role in advancing knowledge and supporting the development of modern energy systems. Research into renewable energy sources addresses not only efficiency but also environmental impact, technological innovation, and integration with the existing infrastructure. Progress in these areas is essential to achieving global sustainable development goals and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Transforming the economy towards climate neutrality is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Achieving zero emissions requires profound changes not only in the energy sector but also in industry, agriculture, and socioeconomic systems. Renewable energy sources—such as wind, solar energy, hydropower, and biomass—are the foundation of this transformation, which is reflected in scientific research and public policy. In the face of increasing climate change and rising energy demand, the global economy increasingly relies on stable and sustainable energy resources, fueling the search for efficient and environmentally friendly green solutions.
Transitioning to carbon-free energy systems is not only a technological challenge but also a social, economic, and organizational one. Research has addressed technological efficiency, environmental impact, governance models, and system-wide integration. This Special Issue addresses these challenges by presenting research that explores innovative paths toward a climate-neutral economy.
