Smart Energy and Sustainable Environment II

Dear Colleagues,

Smart Energy is one of the most significant scientific and technological trends of our time, uniting the issues of energy efficiency, new energy sources and technologies for their production, including Waste-to-Energy. The rapid development of artificial intelligence technologies has an impact on industrial applications of Intelligent Control Technologies, Big Data Mining and Nature-inspired algorithms in Smart Energy Management Systems. Sustainable Environment challenges include research and widespread implementation of breakthrough technologies for Waste and Carbon Footprint Minimization, Smart Cities, intelligent systems for Environmental Impact Assessment, and the integration of Nature-like Technologies. Critical review articles, original research and case studies are welcomed in this Special Issue, covering relevant, up-to-date topics related to energy and environmental technologies, smart technologies for energy and environment management, including interdisciplinary methodologies. This Special Issue of Energies, "Smart Energy and Sustainable Environment II", is dedicated to exchanging ideas in the field of energy and the environment, as well as advancing knowledge concerning practitioners, scientists, researchers, educators and professionals to develop forward-looking ideas needed to solve problems in Smart Energy and Sustainable Environment.

Topics include but are not limited to the following:

1. Smart Energy Renewable Resources (SE-RR);
2. Smart Energy and Industrial Intelligent Technologies (SE-IIT) (including AI, Expert Systems, Big Date Mining and Nature-inspired algorithms Applications);
3. Smart Energy Management Systems (SE-MS) (including automatic control and lifecycle management);
4. Waste-to-Energy Technologies (SE-W2E);
5. Sustainable Environment–Waste Minimization Technologies (SE-WMT);
6. Sustainable Environment–Carbon Footprint Minimization (SE-CFM);
7. Sustainable Environment–Environmental Impact Assessment (SE-EIA);
8. Sustainable Environment–BAT-BREF and Nature-like Technologies(SE-BAT);
9. Sustainable Environment Management (SEM) (including Logistics and Supply Chains, ECG—concepts Application);
10. Sustainable Industrial Processes (SIP);
11. Smart Cities Sustainable Environment (SC-SE).

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.
