Abstract
Global energy requirements are rising tremendously because of increasing urbanization and the human population. In the last few centuries, the consumption of fossil fuels has caused increased emissions of greenhouse gases resulting in environmental concerns like global warming, climatic change, and biodiversity loss. As a result, progress in sustainable energy has become the centre of attention in climatic change agenda and economic growth. Until now, various methods of renewable energy production have been extensively studied such as geothermal energy, wind energy, and solar energy. In addition to this, the utilization of biofuels from different sustainable sources are also being considered to reduce greenhouses gas emissions. New approaches and developments are still required for the creation of more sustainable, efficient, and affordable renewable energy systems and for the mitigation of global environmental threats. This special issue aims to advance novel developments in the sustainable conversion of renewable energy, providing up to date, fruitful, and actionable insights into economic, social, and environmental sustainability and includes original research articles and reviews to describe the interaction between renewable fuels, CO2 mitigation, and global warming.
Highlights
Sustainability refers to the process of people maintaining homeostasis and balance in a changing environment, in which the exploitation of resources is done in a controlled manner to meet the current and future potential human needs and aspirations
Water vapour is accountable for about two-thirds of the increasing global warming while CO2 is regarded as the primary controlling factor in global warming [7]. As such environmental issues are associated with extensive fossil fuel consumption, increased dependence on renewable energies is the furthermost approach to confront them and it is a widely established fact that greenhouse gases can be significantly reduced with the increased use of various renewable energies [4]
New approaches and developments are still required for the creation of more sustainable, efficient, and affordable renewable energy systems, and for the mitigation of global environmental threats including climate change [13]
Summary
Sustainability refers to the process of people maintaining homeostasis and balance in a changing environment, in which the exploitation of resources is done in a controlled manner to meet the current and future potential human needs and aspirations. Water vapour is accountable for about two-thirds of the increasing global warming while CO2 is regarded as the primary controlling factor in global warming [7] As such environmental issues are associated with extensive fossil fuel consumption, increased dependence on renewable energies is the furthermost approach to confront them and it is a widely established fact that greenhouse gases can be significantly reduced with the increased use of various renewable energies [4]. Sustainable energy policies contribute a significant part in energy transitions as they can act as the driving force behind innovations in renewable energy They are a prerequisite in assembling finance that is an essential factor in achieving climate goals. The use of policies and regulations can have a positive impact on the outcomes of sustainable energy in the long run [14]
