Carbon, Water, Energy, and Land-Use Footprint

Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit your research paper to the Special Issue of Energies (ISSN 1996-1073; CODEN: ENERGA) dedicated to “Carbon, Water, Energy and Land-Use Footprint”.

This Special Issue was specifically designed to exploit the nexus between energy and environment, focusing on the main footprints that human activities produce on natural resources.

Submission of papers within the journal scope, including primary and secondary energy sources, energy exploitation, storage, and conversion, policy, research and development, aiming at increasing the present knowledge of their impact on the environment, is particularly encouraged.

Contributions are expected to shed new light, from a life-cycle perspective, into the effect of present and future energy systems on climate change, water availability, natural resources, and environment, possibly suggesting effective and viable strategies to support their sustainability.
