“…Thus, it is also predicted to have a positive effect on TCO 2 (β 3 zTCO 2 zROADLOCO > 0). The rail locomotives (e.g., steam engine and diesel engine) substantially contribute to CO 2 emissions released by the transport sector (Cipek et al, 2021). Therefore, rail locomotive is anticipated to have a negative effect on TCO 2 (β 4 zTCO2 zRAILLOCO > 0).…”

This study investigates the effects of transport and environmental factors on transport carbon dioxide emissions (TCO2). It employs cross-sectional autoregressive distributed lags for the estimation in the short and long runs and examines the panel time-series data from 2000 to 2020 in the OECD countries. This method allows heterogeneity in the dependencies and slope parameters across the countries. The results demonstrate that road and railway traffic movements increase the amount of TCO2 in the short and long runs. In addition, transport energy consumption is the driving factor in releasing TCO2 in the long run. Moreover, the joint effect of locomotives and transport energy consumption significantly reduces TCO2 in the short run. By contrast, the findings support the argument that environmental expenditures and green transport mitigate TCO2 in the long run. The findings also show an inverted u-shaped relationship between TCO2 and transport energy consumption. With the empirical findings as a basis, we suggest that the OECD countries should reduce traffic movements and enhance the environmental expenditures so that they may produce green transport vehicles to combat environmental issues.

“…Cipek et al in paper [184] consider a novel approach to heavy-haul of railway freight by means of combined operation of conventional diesel-electric and battery-electric locomotives either in single or joint (tandem) operation. The results show that between 22% and 30% fuel cost savings may be achieved, along with reduced emissions of exhaust gases by using the proposed battery-electric locomotive in combination (tandem) with the conventional dieselelectric one.…”

“…The transportation sector also makes a substantial contribution to air pollution in current society. Cipek et al [35] investigated a battery-electric system combined with a traditional diesel-electric locomotive by equipping a battery energy storage device. It was proven that the fuel cost savings can reach 22~30%, achieving a remarkable reduction in the emission of exhaust gases.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the supply chains of traditional fossil fuels. According to a report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) from 2020, oil-refining activity fell by more than the IEA had anticipated. It was also assumed that the demand in 2021 would likely be 2.6 million bpd below the 2019 levels. However, renewable markets have shown strong resilience during the crisis. It was determined that renewables are on track to meet 80% of the growth in electricity demand over the next 10 years and that sustainable energy will act as the primary source of electricity production instead of coal. On the other hand, the report also emphasized that measures for reducing environmental pollution and CO2 emissions are still insufficient and that significant current investments should be further expanded. The Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems (SDEWES) conference series is dedicated to the advancement and dissemination of knowledge on methods, policies and technologies for improving the sustainability of development by decoupling growth from the use of natural resources. The 15th SDEWES conference was held online from 1–5 September 2020; more than 300 reports with 7 special sections were organized on the virtual conference platform. This paper presents the major achievements of the recommended papers in the Special Issue of Energies. Additionally, related studies connected to the above papers published in the SDEWES series are also introduced, including the four main research fields of energy saving and emission reduction, renewable energy applications, the development of district heating systems, and the economic assessment of sustainable energy.
