Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy development provides for the generation of sustainable energy from conventional, alternative, and renewable energy sources aiming to satisfy societal demands. It also covers technologies and approaches in the recovery of energy losses which in turn enhances the energy efficiency of the system. However, it remains a persistent challenge to produce the needed energy while significantly reducing the environmental effects, such as the emission of greenhouse gases, which lead to climate change. Moreover, technological and economic limitations may also hinder energy development for sustainability. Motivated by this fact, studies on renewable, alternative, and clean energy have recently been explored. As examples, works on bioenergy, solar photovoltaics, wind, hybrids, and coal technology have been extensively researched.
Recently, energy development has received significant attention through the promising results of technology development, experimentation, computational modeling, and validation. However, several challenging topics remain with energy development approaches. Thus, the aim of this Special Issue is to collect and publish the latest developments in various aspects of energy development for sustainability.
The list of possible topics includes, but is not limited to:
- Hydropower;
- Solar energy;
- Wind energy;
- Bioenergy;
- Biofuels;
- Geothermal energy;
- Oceanic energy;
- Hybrids;
- Energy storage;
- Energy saving;
- Carbon capture.
This Special Issue focuses on various energy developments which enable sustainable energy production.

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.
