Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global transition towards sustainability is driven by the urgent need to address climate change, resource depletion, and environmental degradation. This Special Issue, "Green Technologies and Applications", seeks to bring pioneering research and innovative developments in green technology together. It aims to provide scholars, practitioners, and policymakers with a platform to explore how cutting-edge technologies and intelligent systems can foster a sustainable future.
Topics Covered:
(1) Renewable Energy and Green Technology
Explore advancements in renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydropower, and bioenergy, along with innovative green technologies that enhance energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
(2) Green Smart Cities
Investigate the integration of green technologies into urban environments, focusing on sustainable urban planning, smart grids, eco-friendly transportation, and green building practices that contribute to the development of smart cities.
(3) Green Technologies and Applications
Discuss a broad range of green technologies and their applications across various industries, highlighting innovations that promote energy conservation, waste reduction, and sustainable production processes.
(4) Green Communication Systems and Networks
Examine the role of energy-efficient communication networks and systems in reducing the carbon footprint of ICT infrastructure, including strategies for green data centers, 5G networks, and energy-aware computing.
(5) Artificial Intelligence for Green IoT
Delve into how AI can optimize the Internet of Things (IoT) for sustainable applications, such as smart energy management, the predictive maintenance of renewable energy systems, and intelligent resource allocation.
(6) Applied Mathematical Modeling in Renewable Energy
Present research on the application of mathematical modeling techniques to solve complex problems in renewable energy systems, including the optimization, simulation, and analysis of energy storage and distribution.
(7) AI Application to Sustainable Technologies:
Explore how artificial intelligence can be leveraged to enhance sustainable technologies, improve efficiency in renewable energy systems, and support decision-making in environmental management.
(8) Education and Green Energy
Discuss the role of education in promoting green energy awareness, integrating sustainability into curricula, and fostering the next generation of innovators in green technology and renewable energy.
(9) Economics and Green Energy
Analyze the economic aspects of green energy, including the financial viability of renewable energy projects, economic policies that encourage green technology adoption, and the impact of green energy on global markets.
This Special Issue invites contributions that address these critical areas, aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical research and practical applications in green technologies. Submissions that combine interdisciplinary approaches, propose novel solutions, or present empirical studies are highly encouraged. Through this collective effort, we hope to contribute to the global discourse on sustainability and inspire further advancements in green technology and its applications.
