New Challenges in Energy and Environment

Dear Colleagues,

This journal Energies, listed in SCI and Q1/Q2 in SCImago Journal Rank, is publishing a Special Issue on “New Changes in Energy and Environment”. We are now facing different types of industrial pollution (e.g., air, water, soil, and others) and serious environmental problems (e.g., global warming and climate change), along with their industrial development and economic growth in the world. It is easily envisioned that energy markets will be drastically changed in near future. This special issue looks forward to embracing business and policy efforts for energy and environmental protection along with recent deregulation on energy outputs (e.g., electricity). Deregulation is a global trend in energy sectors and important for sustainable development. In contrast, environmental regulation is important in preventing various pollutions. We would like to see applications that measure how new technology assessment and development (e.g., smart city design/development, clean coal technology and shale oil/gas) can enhance energy efficiency, resource utilization, energy policy and other concerns on sustainable development (e.g., global warming and climate change). We also welcome new methodological developments in computer science (e.g., AI: artificial intelligence) and management science (e.g., DEA: data envelopment analysis) that discuss the energy and environmental challenges.
