Energy and Environment

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to invite you to submit a paper for a Special Issue on “Energy and Environment” in Energies (impact factor 2.262): http://www.mdpi.com/journal/energies

Energy is a vital commodity that sustains human lives, as well as economic processes. At the same time, energy demand, supply and generation contribute to various environmental challenges, such as climate change, fossil fuel resource depletion and air pollution. This Special Issue will explore the following topics: a) how energy demand, supply and use contribute to a wide range of environmental challenges, b) how these environmental challenges can be mitigated using advanced energy technology, c) how low carbon energy transitions can be achieved world-wide to overcome some of these environmental challenges, and d) how economic, political, social and technological systems can help to reduce the environmental impacts of energy use. This Special Issue addresses cross-cutting issues across a range of economic sectors, such as energy generation, transport, industry, buildings, services, agriculture and households. This Special Issue will particularly include new insights from biofuels/biomass, geothermal power, hydropower, solar energy, tidal energy, wind energy. New insights from nuclear power and fossil fuels may also be explored. The Special Issue welcomes both qualitative and quantitative studies, as well as empirical and theoretical contributions.
