Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy shortage have become one of the world’s major problems. Not only global energy consumption is constantly rising, but also there is an urgent need to reduce CO2 emissions and the use of fossil fuels. In this situation, the best solution is to exploit renewable energy sources, so research and development of renewable energy technologies is a priority. Simultaneously, a very important aspect is the application of innovative technologies which allow for the reduction of energy consumption. Technologies allowing for the conversion of waste into energy as anaerobic digestion or microbial fuel cells seems to be especially important. They allow not only for reducing the amount of energy needed for conventional treatment, but also generate energy during treatment process.
This Special Issue aims to present the most recent research related to the theory, design, modelling, application, analysis of renewable energy production, and wastewater treatment technologies.
Topics of interests for manuscripts include, but are not limited to:
- Sun energy technologies;
- Wind energy technologies;
- Water energy technologies;
- Geothermal energy technologies;
- Energy from biomass;
- Fuel cells;
- Microbial fuel cells;
- Anaerobic digestion;
- Innovative wastewater treatment technologies;
- Waste into energy technologies.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
