Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coal, oil, and natural gas, which are used to generate power, account for one-third of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. The need to manage greenhouse and other gases and compounds in the atmosphere will become increasingly dependent on energy efficiency in production, transmission, distribution, and consumption. Many developing countries are rapidly expanding their power supply infrastructures as governments and investors around the world develop an increased understanding of electricity's critical role in raising living standards and maintaining economic growth.
A source of energy is a requirement for socio-economic progress. In recent decades, the rapid economic growth of developing countries has resulted in an increase in energy consumption. Energy supply and security have become critical challenges not only for the progression of society but also for global political and economic patterns. Hence, energy is an essential factor in the overall efforts to achieve sustainable development, which can be accomplished by using renewable energy and ensuring citizens' access to inexpensive, reliable, sustainable, and contemporary energy.
This Special Issue intends to strengthen interdisciplinary research and share the dynamics and cutting-edge perspectives in the above-mentioned disciplines.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Current challenges and future directions in energy generation;
- Biomass-based hydrogen generation;
- Algae for hydrogen synthesis and creation of renewable energy;
- Biomass conversion for biofuels via thermochemical and biochemical means;
- Biological residues, procedures, and bio-methanation use of localized waste;
- Wind energy;
- Hydroelectricity;
- Solar thermal electricity;
- Geothermal;
- Consumption of renewable energy.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
