Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy production and transportation play an irreplaceable role in today's industrial and energy sectors. They are not only crucial to the operation of the entire industry but also the core driving force for sustainable development in all sectors. This report focuses on the application and impact of various energy forms in the production and transportation processes and provides an in-depth analysis of their key role in reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable development. It emphasizes their indispensability and the significant responsibility they bear in modern industrial and energy systems. Energy is the foundation of modern society, encompassing both traditional fossil fuels and renewable energy. Transportation systems are a key area of energy consumption and have a profound impact on carbon emissions. Carbon emissions are a major driver of global climate change, and effective carbon reduction measures are urgently needed to control them. Sustainable development emphasizes meeting current needs while ensuring that resources and the environment are protected for future generations. Promoting green energy and low-carbon transportation is a key strategic pillar for achieving sustainable development.
The relationship between energy, transportation systems, and carbon emissions is inextricably linked, and their impact on global climate change cannot be ignored. Especially in the current global climate crisis and increasingly scarce resources, transitioning to green energy and low-carbon transportation is crucial to addressing environmental challenges and promoting sustainable development.
Against this backdrop, traditional fossil fuels (such as oil, coal, and natural gas) still dominate the energy mix. In particular, the widespread use of fuel-powered vehicles in the transportation sector has resulted in significant carbon emissions. However, technological advances are leading to the emergence and widespread adoption of low-carbon transportation options, such as electric and hydrogen vehicles. These represent significant breakthroughs in reducing carbon emissions and achieving low-carbon transportation.
Renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and hydropower, have become a major alternative to traditional fossil fuels. In this transition in energy production and consumption, improving the efficiency of these energy sources, reducing costs, and enhancing energy storage and stability are among the current technological challenges.
The focus on sustainable development aligns closely with current global priorities, particularly the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Reducing carbon emissions, improving energy efficiency, and promoting the widespread use of renewable energy are all crucial areas within these goals.
How can we promote green energy and low-carbon transportation at the individual and corporate levels?

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).
