Deployment of Green Technologies for Sustainable Environment II

Dear Colleagues,

To simultaneously solve the dilemmas of energy demand, waste management, and greenhouse gas emission for communities globally, the development and deployment of green technologies should be a viable step towards environmental sustainability. The development of green technology could reduce carbon dependency, promote resource and energy efficiency, and lessen environmental degradation. This would result in the improvement of human well-being and social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities towards the Sustainable Development Goals. The scope of green technologies includes but is not limited to green agriculture, green tourism, green building, green transportation, green energy, green infrastructure (engineered natural systems), and green water treatment.

This Special Issue collects original research and critical reviews about scientific and technical information on recent advances in the deployment of green technologies for a sustainable environment. The primary areas of interest of this Special Issue include but are not limited to (1) green agriculture for sustainable materials management; (2) waste-to-energy and -resource supply chain, such as (co-)anaerobic digestion of agricultural and/or organic wastes for a circular bioeconomy; (3) green infrastructure and/or engineered natural systems for nutrient control; (4) green separation technologies for the recovery of value-added resources; (5) smart technology for real-time monitoring, control, and assessment; and (6) strategic management by optimizing the utilization efficiency of food, energy, land, and/or water resources.
