Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of renewable energy sources (RES) is important for achieving sustainable development in the energy sector, and due to their wide variety, they have many potential applications. Although RES are considered pro-environmental solutions (clean technology), they have some environmental impact. Solar, wind, geothermal, biomass and hydropower installations can burden the environment in the form of waste emissions, noise, landscape transformation and more. The intensity of the environmental impact varies depending on factors such as the type of RES and the extent of its impact, the technology used and geographic location. In addition, the introduction of new technologies is often associated with a lack of public acceptance. We welcome studies analyzing they ways in which these impacts benefit or hinder RES development, which could help prevent or minimize them in the future. We are also interested in papers on the development of new RES technologies, as well as analyses of the development of RES in a social and environmental context for individual countries. We welcome original research articles, reviews and case reports for this Special Issue.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
