Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Striking a balance between environmental conservation and energy consumption is a key challenge for modern society. This balance requires a holistic approach, with investments in renewable energy, efficient technologies, energy efficiency measures, sustainable practices, and policies that promote long-term ecological health.
This Special Issue is open to papers that address both ecological sustainability and the growing demand for energy in an era of rapid technological advancement and population growth. Key strategies to help achieve this balance include the following:
- Transition to renewable energy;
- Improving energy efficiency;
- Sustainable transportation;
- Carbon capture;
- Waste-to-energy systems (circular economy);
- Government policies, international cooperation, behavioural change, and awareness of energy consumption.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Integrated energy resources and demands;
- Energy efficiency;
- Renewable energy;
- Energy storage systems;
- Sustainable transportation;
- Carbon capture technology;
- Energy from waste;
- Energy and society;
- Energy efficiency policy;
- Circular economy;
- Environment management.
