Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The guest editors of Energies are seeking submissions for a Special Issue on the subject. “Qualitative Analysis and Environmental Sustainability Assessment of Energy: 2nd Edition”.
Sustainable energy development is an important element in the development of the modern economy of every country. Systemic actions taken by governments, enterprises and society are aimed, among others, at minimizing the effects of environmental degradation and improving the quality of life. Growing expectations and requirements of market stakeholders, technical and technological progress (Industry 4.0 concept), and economic and geopolitical changes increase the demand for energy. Therefore, investments in energy, especially renewable or derived from natural processes, can ensure the demand–supply balance and influence the improvement of environmental and economic aspects. The sustainable supply economy resulting from, among others, solar, wind, geothermal or biomass energy will result in a faster departure from traditional coal-fired sources, dependence on foreign energy suppliers, lower electricity bills and improvement of air quality and natural resources, both in rural and urban areas. Additionally, for example, the transition to ecological mobility generates a significant increase in the demand for electricity, which must be unconditionally linked to green energy. The quality of investments, devices, technologies, processes and know-how that are used as part of process activities to obtain green energy is a challenge for business entities and countries as well as many scientists. Various management systems, pro-quality policies, green innovations and operational activities related to production optimization, the use of recycled raw materials and the circular economy are seen as part of responsible management, corporate social responsibility, striving to maximize the value of business entities or improving the quality of life of society.
The Special Issue encourages the discussion and investigation of the impact of qualitative and environmental variables on energy (energy policy). We invite you to present qualitative and quantitative empirical scientific and technical research in this Special Issue. We hope that the information presented will result in knowledge transfer and various implementations in the field of sustainable energy.
