Renewable Energy and Environmental Efficiency

Dear Colleagues,

Renewable energy is regarded as an efficient tool to fight climate change. It has gained more prominence, especially after the Paris Agreement. Most countries made pledges to increase the renewable energy share and claimed to decrease the greenhouse gas emissions that originated from the energy sector. This Special Issue, “Renewable Energy and Environmental Efficiency”, aims to contribute the pledges stated in the Paris Agreement through advanced scientific and multi-disciplinary knowledge and studies, which will also act as a repository for the academic community, policy decision-makers, industrial practitioners, and the private sector.

We, therefore, invite papers on original studies, reviews, case studies, analytical analyses, and assessments, from different disciplines. These include renewable energy systems, energy efficiency and modelling in renewable energy systems, hybrid energy storage systems, renewable energy modelling, energy security, risk analysis, climate change impacts, life cycle analysis, environmental pollution, impact assessment analysis, financial and economic analysis of renewable energy systems, and renewable energy policy.

Note that papers should be within the scope of the “Renewable Energy and Environmental Efficiency” Special Issue and the submitted papers should address the connection between renewable energy and environment issues.
