Energy Management and Sustainable Development from Economic, Social and Environmental Aspects

Dear Colleagues,

“Energy” is undeniably one of the fundamental issues associated with the world’s sustainable development goals that currently receive the highest priorities. “Energy management” has been accepted worldwide as playing a vital role in the promotion of sustainable development. Such conditions as economic growth, social development and conflicts, and deterioration of resources and environment have been explored in view of the world’s energy situation. Efforts to find ways to most efficiently utilize energy and to advance the use of clean and renewable alternative energy, such as solar, wind, hydro, subterranean, oceanic, hydrogen, biomass, and bio energy sources, have increasingly gained traction in the hope that a new knowledge base can be constructed for academic purposes and furthered for engineering and economic applications. This Topic is an opportunity for academics, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to present their findings from empirical research, lessons learned from practice, and opinions formed from thorough analyses of cases in energy management towards sustainable development. The Topic is also designed to cover at least three dimensions of the issue—policies and strategies, business and economics, and technology and industry. Cases from countries and regions all over the world, examples of energy management in the business or economic world, and applications in engineering, such as the case of electric vehicles, are all welcomed.
