“…It was suggested that the accurate place and area selection of farmland significantly helps to increase the input/output ratio of policy, and that changes in planting patterns should be comprehensively considered. Lu et al [150] revealed the threats to water environments concealed in economic development and proposed a two-staged method to describe the replenishment of water ecosystems. A total of 12 threat indexes were designed, aiming to point out the critical defects during economic development and elicit sustainable initiatives from decision-makers.…”

“…Currently, hybrid energy systems show significant benefits in the determination of minimum electricity targets when the heat demand and the electricity demand can be accurately estimated. Wang et al [150] performed a heat-and-electricity pinch analysis to assess how much heat should be recovered from hybrid systems. They developed a heatto-power composite curve to visualize the total energy as well as the individual heat and electricity requirements during working time period.…”

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.
