Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The objectives of climate change mitigation and resource efficiency imply the need for energy efficiency gains. Furthermore, energy-related GHG emission needs to be monitored and curbed. The use of energy and the resulting environmental impacts are also related to economic growth and the use of production factors. This complex framework can be analyzed by modelling (environmental) production technology. This gives rise to measures of efficiency and productivity change. Parametric and nonparametric models can be used for gauging efficiency and productivity change. Shadow prices are an important measure of pollution abatement. All in all, efficiency analysis renders multiple data-driven indicators for the assessment of the sustainability of economies.
This Special Issue calls for theoretical and empirical papers focusing on the following topics:
- Energy efficiency;
- Total factor productivity;
- Environmental performance indicators;
- Energy planning;
- Pinch analysis;
- Data envelopment analysis;
- Stochastic frontier analysis;
- Shadow pricing;
- Emission allocation.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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-blind 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.
