Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on "Renewable Energy Technologies and Sustainable Economy" investigates the most recent advances, problems, and prospects in sustainable development. The focus is on the development and optimization of renewable technologies, the integration of decentralized energy systems, economic and social implications, and policies that promote sustainable practices. Its scope covers a wide range of subjects, providing a detailed venue for experimental, computational, and theoretical study. The purpose is to increase our understanding and promote sustainable energy solutions using a multidisciplinary approach.
By addressing key areas, such as industrial development and energy crisis, sustainable production and consumption patterns, new and renewable energy sources, and sustainable energy preservation methods, this Special Issue will significantly supplement the existing literature. The multidisciplinary approach combines insights from natural and applied sciences, engineering, economics, social sciences, and humanities to provide varied viewpoints on measuring and monitoring sustainability, implementing sustainability tools, and developing successful policies and legislation.
Global participation from both developed and developing countries is essential, providing a comprehensive view of technological and economic advancements, and addressing diverse challenges across regions. This Special Issue aligns with the journal's mission to support the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by fostering scientific and practical understanding of sustainable practices. The contributions will advance academic discourse and support the practical implementation of sustainable energy solutions in real-world contexts.
Prof. Dr. Andrea Micangeli
