Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue titled "Future Prospects for Renewable Energy Applications" aims to investigate the transformative potential of renewable energy technologies in shaping a sustainable future. As the global community grapples with the challenges of climate change, energy security, and resource depletion, the transition to renewable energy sources has become imperative. This issue will serve as a comprehensive platform for innovative research, insights, and discussions surrounding the latest developments in renewable energy applications.

We invite contributions that explore various dimensions of renewable energy, focusing on both technological advancements and socio-economic implications. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Emerging technologies: innovations in solar, wind, hydro, and bioenergy technologies, including advancements in efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
  • Policy and regulation: analysis of governmental policies, incentives, and regulatory frameworks that promote or hinder the adoption of renewable energy applications.
  • Environmental impact: studies measuring the ecological effects of renewable energy projects, including land use, biodiversity, and lifecycle assessments.
  • Socio-economic factors: investigations into the economic benefits of renewable energy, such as job creation, community engagement, and energy equity.
  • Case studies: real-world examples of successful renewable energy implementations, showcasing best practices and lessons learned.
  • Future trends: predictions and analyses of future developments in renewable energy technology and market dynamics.

This research studies the current changes in Polish renewable resources employment and Poland’s position in rankings in comparison to European countries. The research aims to define the actual situation and the future perspectives of renewable energy sources (RES) employment in Poland. Several key research problems were formulated: What are the main directions of employment development in the Polish energy sector? How is employment changing in Poland? What are the forecasts for the Polish RES labor market? What are the main tendencies in competencies changing? The research was made by means of literature study and statistical analysis. Particular attention was paid to comparing RES employment in Poland and Germany. The research reveals the high position of Poland in total EU RES employment and the optimistic perspectives for the labor market development, despite the many challenges defined. It was concluded that the Polish education systems need to adapt rapidly to the demand of the energy market and continue to broaden the sustainable and renewable energy perspective to prepare a workforce capable of supporting a greener future.
