Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The fastest developing sector since 1990 and simultaneously the biggest consumer of energy is transport. One of the hallmarks of sustainable transport is the desire to reduce the level of environmental pollution. The major problem for transport sector is dependence on fossil fuels, with road transport consuming by far the most energy. The goal in European Green Deal is to be climate-neutral - an economy with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, by 2050. To fulfill this ambitious objective a package “Fit for 55” was introduced by European Commission. The aim of which is to reduce emissions by at least 55% by 2030. To reach climate-neutrality by 2050, one of the tools is increasing the share of renewable energy sources (RESs).
The awareness of carbon footprint analysis of sustainable supply chain is crucial in the context of decarbonization processes. Legislative, fiscal and tax instruments have been introduced to mitigate the negative impact of transport on the environment. The answer to the way of decarbonizing transport are new technologies, new fuels.
This special issue is aimed at collecting scientific articles and reviews related to the study of impact of transport on the environment in the energy sector.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Decarbonization of road transport
- Impact of transport on the environmental sphere in the energy sector
- Minimalization of the greenhouse gas emissions as a factual challenge
- Quo vadis? Sustainable transport is possible after pandemic COVID-19?
- Future transport in the context of use renewable energy sources
- Scenarios of energy efficiency of transport
- The role of energy shocks in supply chain
- What will be next? How implement transport policy without any negative effects?
- The impact of modal shift on the energy intensity of transport
- Artificial intelligence as a tool to mitigate a negative transport impact on consumption of energy
- Transport modeling for cleaner environment
- Methodology for estimate energy consumption forecast
- Internalisation of externalities in transport

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.
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). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
