Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the development of the energy industry, greater attention is being paid to safety issues. The risk assessment method is an effective method for the current energy industry safety management. The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of current technology for risk assessment in the energy industry, as well as the concepts and approaches for future safety management in the energy industry.

This Special Issue aims to deepen and broaden the horizons of knowledge related to the management of energy systems, security and methods of risk assessment for sustainable development.

It is necessary to consider adopting innovative perspectives and methods in complex interdisciplinary systems. Contributions expanding the knowledge of risk management during the life cycle of technical infrastructure facilities and other types of facilities and / or safety from the perspective of adapting to new regulatory requirements are welcome.

The editors of this Special Issue encourage authors to submit original research articles, critical reviews, in-depth reviews, well-documented case studies or theoretical papers, taking into account scientific discussions from different perspectives.

The expected result is the designation of new models or modification of the existing models of sustainable development risk assessment, taking into account new political, social and economic circumstances.

Within the increased concern for environmental protection, an important aspect is related to renewable energy not only because of the potential for carbon emission reductions but also because of energy security. Relying on renewable energy sources can be a basis for less dependence of the economy on limited energy sources, especially when considering their potential price fluctuations. The role of banks has already been recognized in the context of supporting the greater use of renewable energy solutions. In this paper, the focus is on green banking (GB) services and customers’ intention to adopt them. For its analysis, the theory of planned behavior (TPB) was applied. It was extended with environmental consciousness, as a predictor of attitude and behavioral intention. Moreover, relations between customer intention and its predictors were examined separately for the male and female gender. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first research in which behavioral intention toward green banking services was investigated by including mentioned variables from the gender aspect. According to the obtained results, environmental consciousness, attitude and perceived behavior control have the largest influence on customers’ intention. In addition, from the gender aspect, unlike male, the intention of female customers is significantly affected by perceived behavior control. Full article
