Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
According to the WCED (World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987), sustainability or sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, and it is a global issue. Generally, sustainability involves economic sustainability, social sustainability, and environmental sustainability, and all of these link to the sustainability of energy/resources, since energy/resource sustainability sets a solid basis for overall sustainability.
An energy system is the basis of the utilization of energy/resources for sustainability, and a sustainable energy system is crucial for our sustainable development as it involves sustainable energy resources, sustainable energy technologies, sustainable energy routes, sustainable energy devices, sustainable energy assessments, sustainable energy policies, etc.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Sustainable energy resources (biomass, wind, solar, etc.);
- Sustainable energy technologies;
- Sustainable energy routes;
- Sustainable energy devices;
- Sustainable energy assessments;
- Sustainable energy policies;
- Energy storage systems;
- Other related topics (thermodynamics, heat transfer, hydrodynamics, etc.).
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Yaning Zhang
