Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thanks to the successive stages of the Industrial Revolution, we have achieved not only a certain level of technological advancement but also the awareness of caring for the environment and future generations, which we define as Sustainable Development. By this concept, we also express the need to continuously monitor the activities carried out.
Sustainable development in the field of energy covers a wide range of activities leading to the reduction of environmental pollution and the efficient use of energy.
To describe the phenomena related to sustainable development, many new concepts have been introduced, such as "carbon footprint", "energy efficiency", "energy intensity", etc.
In this Special Issue, we would like to invite you to publish articles describing progress in sustainable development and renewable energy, taking into account economic, political and environmental factors. We are curious about both the results of research using already existing methods and the presentation of new measures of sustainable development.
The topics covered in this Special Issue may cover broadly understood issues related to energy, in particular renewable energy and its impact on the natural environment, as well as on the quality of life. Articles presenting the impact of climate policy and renewable energy on energy prices and CO2 emission allowances, as well as on energy security, will be interesting. We are also eager to find out if renewable energy from solar and wind power plants (onshore and offshore) is able to ensure the continuity of the energy supply in various weather conditions, or should some solid fuel power plants be kept? In December 2012, the directive on energy efficiency entered into force in the European Union. This is another interesting approach that shows that energy demand should not be meet only by increasing energy production but also by efficient energy use.
The issues presented above are only a proposal, and other topics related to sustainable development and energy will be welcome. Authors also are not limited to any specific country or region.
