Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, environmental issues are very prominent, which involve seeking to reduce the effect of global warming. The increasing rate of carbon emission due to industrialization is one of the causes of global warming. Renewable energy resources are naturally replenishing fuel sources, most notably solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, and hydro power. Unlike nuclear power and fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas), renewables provide clean, safe, and reliable power, with low-carbon emissions. Thus, applying renewable energy in production and supply chain management is very much essential to protect the environment. The idea of applying renewable energy in supply chain management is to enhance environmental sustainability. As environmental sustainability is very crucial nowadays for the industrial sector, the aim of this Special Issue is to combine a revolution of the industrial sector with sustainable supply chain management under the influence of renewal energy. The objective of this Special Issue is the improvement of the inventory, production, supply chain management, and logistics regarding sustainability under the surveillance of supply channels.
