Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The global transition to sustainable energy sources has emerged as a critical priority to combat climate change and minimize the environmental damage caused by traditional fossil fuels. Renewable fuels, effective carbon emissions management, and sustainable green energy initiatives are key components in building a cleaner and more resilient energy future. Innovative technologies and improvements to existing systems are essential to advancing cleaner energy solutions that balance efficiency and economic viability. Effectively reducing carbon emissions requires a comprehensive strategy that includes renewable biofuels, hydrogen energy, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and advances in solar and wind energy technologies. Supportive government policies and regulations are further accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy.

This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research and technological advances in renewable fuels, emission reduction strategies, and sustainable energy systems. We invite submissions on a wide range of topics, including the following:

  • Biofuels and other renewable fuel alternatives;
  • Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS);
  • Hydrogen generation and fuel cell technologies;
  • Innovation.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.

Maritime transportation is crucial for global trade, yet it is a significant source of emissions. This study aims to enhance the operational efficiency and sustainability of container ports by accurately estimating energy needs. Analyzing data from 440 ships visiting a container port within a year, including parameters such as main engine (ME) power, auxiliary engine (AE) power, gross registered tonnage (GRT), twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU), and hoteling time, regression analysis techniques were employed within MATLAB’s Regression Learner App. The model predicted future energy demands with an accuracy of 82%, providing a robust framework for energy management and infrastructure investment. The strategic planning based on these predictions supports sustainability goals and enhances energy supply reliability. The study highlights the dual benefit for port and ship owners in precise energy need assessments, enabling cost-effective energy management. This research offers valuable insights for stakeholders, paving the way for greener and more efficient port operations. Full article
