Challenges and Opportunities in the Global Clean Energy Transition

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to participate in this Special Issue and join our team at the Centre of Excellence "Mechatronics and Clean Technology", Campus Technical University, Sofia. In our work toward the realisation of the centre, combining almost all areas of engineering, we focused on the creation, development, and implementation of innovative technologies and systems for sustainable development based on the use of green energy. As a result of accelerated development based on digital technologies, mechatronics and their systems are becoming key to combining growing energy needs and maintaining the ecological balance of the planet. The main themes of our research are computer modelling and the development of technologies and new materials for engineering and re-engineering; electronic, optical, sensor and bio-mechatronic systems and technologies; mechatronic systems and technologies; clean energy; and green technologies.

We hope that our combined efforts will give impetus to new ideas and collaborations between leading researchers in the field of engineering and will contribute to achieving synergies both at the level of individual research teams and institutions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
