About This Topic
The swift progress in artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies is reshaping energy and environmental management, presenting groundbreaking solutions to some of the globe’s most urgent issues. This special issue highlights the convergence of AI, big data, and digitalization in energy systems and environmental conservation, stressing their importance in enhancing sustainability, resource efficiency, and environmental protection monitoring. AI-driven technologies, such as machine learning, predictive analytics, and digital twin models, have demonstrated their potential in optimizing energy consumption, forecasting renewable energy production, and managing environmental risks. Digitalization offers new pathways for real-time monitoring and managing air quality, water resources, and waste. These enable policymakers and industries to make data-supported decisions.
This special issue invites contributions addressing a wide range of topics, including but not limited to smart energy systems, renewable energy integration and forecasting, energy efficiency and optimization, AI-based pollution control, environmental data analytics, digital solutions for sustainable development, and digitalization for environmental monitoring and protection. Research papers, case studies, and reviews exploring the intersection of AI and digitalization in energy and environmental fields are particularly encouraged. By bringing together cutting-edge research, this special issue aims to highlight the critical role of AI and digitalization in advancing sustainable energy systems and enhancing environmental management practices globally.

A Rapid Method of Examining Land Use/Land Cover at Small Industrial Facilities Using Four U.S. Department of Energy Sites as Case StudiesAbstract This work addresses the application of a method to examine the spatial extent of ecological resources and green space on small Department of Energy (DOE) sites and comparison to ecological resources and green space in the surrounding region. Increasingly, governmental regulators, resource trustees, and the public are concerned that federal [...] |
The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Microplastic Pollution Studies and ManagementAbstract Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping microplastic research by enabling faster, more accurate, and scalable detection, characterization, and modeling. Deep learning automates the identification and classification of microplastics from microscopy images, while machine learning accelerates the recognition of polymers from Raman and infrared [...] |
