Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, the energies used by human beings are mainly petroleum, natural gas, coal and other fossil fuels. These fuels are non-renewable, and their extensive use has also brought serious environmental problems, which have attracted great attention from all countries in the world. With the impact of the global energy crisis, as well as the needs for both environmental protection and the sustainable development of a community with a shared future for mankind, from the perspective of a long-term energy development strategy and a carbon-free future, to develop and utilize renewable energy has become inevitable.
Ocean energy is a clean, pollution-free and abundant renewable energy. It plays a key role to support the development of the sustainable economy and society. Although it gradually becomes a common view for the exploitation of ocean renewable energy, the technical challenges brought about by reducing the overall cost associated with the utilization of ocean renewable energy are still a major concern for both academic scholars and their industrial partners. In order to exchange new ideas in developing and utilizing ocean renewable energy, this Special Issue in Sustainability is proposed. Articles covering the following topics are warmly welcome in this Special Issue:
- Innovative approach to assess the potentials of ocean renewable energy, and the discussion on the possibility of exploitation;
- Innovative design of devices for the exploitation of ocean renewable energy;
- Advanced technologies for developing and utilizing new marine energy sources, such as wind energy, wave energy and tidal energy, etc.;
- Reviews for the current status and future developments for the utilization of ocean renewable energy;
- Other studies concerning the utilization of ocean renewable energy.
