Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Amid growing environmental pressures, particularly in the energy sector, achieving long-term development requires substantial efforts. Sustainable development, widely recognized as essential for this purpose, can be realized through effective environmental management, with particular emphasis on fuel consumption and carbon emission reduction, which is the title of this Special Issue.
Rapid global economic growth drives social prosperity and increasing energy demand, swiftly depleting petroleum reserves and making the reduction or adjustment of fuel consumption an urgent priority.
Carbon emissions are often accompanied by releasing other harmful substances, such as nitrogen oxides and particulate matter, which pose significant threats to air quality and public health. Reducing carbon emissions helps mitigate air pollution and improves overall human health outcomes.
Sustainable development demands the minimization of fuel consumption and carbon emissions throughout the entire production and consumption process while promoting the advancement of a green, low-carbon economy and facilitating the transformation of the energy structure.
This Special Issue welcomes high-quality process-oriented and hypothesis-based submissions that report results from original and novel research and contribute new knowledge to help address problems related to fuel consumption and carbon emission reduction under the sustainable development goals at a regional or global scale. Discussions on the effects of fuel consumption and carbon emission reduction under the sustainable development goals are welcome.
Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Low carbon fuel consumption;
- Clean utilization of fossil fuels;
- Hydrogen fuels;
- Carbon emission;
- Emission reduction;
- Low-carbon development;
- Sustainable development in fuel consumption.
