Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, there has been an important international movement towards reducing dependence on fossil fuels, with greater emphasis placed on the promotion of sustainable renewable technologies for electricity generation in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To this end, bearing in mind that the oceans are the largest collectors, accumulators and transformers of energy on earth, marine renewable energy systems are expected to penetrate conventional power supplies as part of the pursuit of carbonless energy systems before 2050.
This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest research achievements, findings, and ideas in the renewable and sustainable utilization of marine renewable energy. Researchers are invited to contribute original research articles, as well as review articles that summarize the latest developments and ideas in these technologies.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Possibilities of marine renewable energy development;
- Renewable marine energy sources, institutional factors, and sustainable development;
- Marine renewable energy and energy demand of the residents;
- Energy conversion;
- Energy security;
- Pro-ecological marine technologies.
