Sustainable Energy: Efficient Technological Solutions Combining Environmental, Economic, Political and Social Aspects, 2nd Edition

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Greetings from the Topic Editors.

This is the second edition of the successful Topic “Sustainable Energy: Efficient Technological Solutions Combining Environmental, Economic, Political and Social Aspects” (https://www.mdpi.com/topics/0509Z729CX).

We are inviting submissions to the Topic that investigate the key subject area of Sustainable Energy.

The energy sector has characterized humanity at every step of its evolution, from the primordial discovery of fire to the Industrial Revolution, up to ICT and IoT, which are already projected to feature increasing use of AI. Energy has always represented the opportunity to satisfy one's own needs, although only by exploiting and consuming the resources that the planet has made available to humanity through tens of thousands of years of transformation processes. The transformed organic matter created by the planet has been utilized by humanity since its inception; however, we must also consider sustaining these resources so that future generations can also satisfy their needs. There is "nothing else" other than sustainability; today, more than ever, the "conditio sine qua non" perspective of development should be adopted.

The Topic, also titled “Sustainable Energy,” is focused on the combination of new and efficient technological solutions that utilize environmental, economic, political, and social aspects to aid humanity in this new ecosystem of sustainability.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

• Renewable Sources;
• Conversion Technologies;
• Biofuels;
• Hydrogen and Fuel Cells;
• Energy storage, Transport, and Distribution;
• Environment;
• Ecology, Biodiversity, and Natural Balances;
• Environmental Impacts Analysis;
• Carbon Footprint;
• Energy Security;
• Integrated Resource Usage Planning;
• Energy Efficiency;
• Energy Systems for Mobility and Infrastructure;
• Energy Systems Analysis, Modeling, and Control;
• Smartification and Intelligent Systems.

This Topic seeks to contribute to the energy sustainability agenda through examining and enhancing new and efficient technological solutions.

We therefore are inviting research papers on innovative technical developments, reviews, case studies, analyses, and assessments that are relevant in regard to improving and sustaining this new ecosystem of sustainability.
