Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Energy resources are an important factor in the vitality of each country's economy. Energy security is very important for country prosperity and living standards, but it is also important to reducing energy consumption and to using it rationally and safely. Each activity has its own set of threats and risks, which must be evaluated in order to achieve the goals of society, business, and individuals. Due to economic inequalities, economic security issues are increasing in their importance. As the use of smart technology grows (especially the use of renewable energy resources), it is necessary to assess threats to the state, business, and individuals. Increasing climate change threats have also highlighted the importance of economic security through the sustainable use of energy resources, ensuring financial stability, minimizing environmental impact, and mitigating risk through proper crisis management instruments.

This Special Issue aims to show how energy and economic security issues are linked and how they interact.

The scope of research can be diverse, including changes in energy consumption and impacts of economic security, use of smart technology, changes in consumer behavior having an impact on economic security, challenges of climate change, and its impacts on energy and economic security.

Thus, in order to further disseminate the evolution of energy and economic security, this Special Issue, titled "Energy and Economic Security” will be published in Energies, which is a journal of SSCI and SCIE (2018 IF = 2.707). This Special Issue will mainly cover original research on the above topics. The articles selected for this Special Issue will be subject to a rigorous peer-review process in order to ensure quality and to disseminate research findings, developments, and applications quickly and widely.

I am writing to invite you to submit your original work to this Special Issue. I am looking forward to receiving your outstanding research.

With global climate change and resource scarcity becoming increasingly serious issues, the green energy economy is transforming on a global scale. There are an increasing number of large-scale green energy development projects. However, these are often beset with risks; thus, this study conducted an analysis of the renewable energy risks in Taiwan using the analytical hierarchy process technique. Accordingly, a comprehensive study focusing into the current energy situation and potential development is needed. Renewable energy status and the availability by its main types, including, wind, solar, thermal, and biomass energies, were critically reviewed and discussed in this study. The findings of this study include the top 10 key operating risks recognized by specific green energy companies, as well as an assessment of which risks have been addressed and which have caused losses.

This paper focuses on the analysis of trends in the development of nuclear energy in selected European and non-European countries in the context of the pace of renewable energy development in the world. The perception of Poles related to their openness to various energy sources against the background of European trends was also examined, as well as their ecological approach to the quality of the environment in this context. The survey was carried out using the Computer Assisted Web Interview (CAWI) technique. The total number of correctly completed forms was 923. To identify the ecological attitude, purchasing attitude, and the perception of nuclear energy, the research tool contained a number of statements on the issues studied, and the respondents assessed compliance with their opinion using a seven-point bipolar scale. The semantic differential was also used to gather opinions on the characteristics of nuclear energy. This paper shows that global trends are promoting the development of unstable renewable energy sources and the reduction of the share of nuclear power plants as an energy source. It has also been shown that the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries are more skeptical about nuclear power than countries that do not belong to the OECD (for example, China and Africa).

Energy security is an international concern for all countries in the world, particularly, for the policymakers looking for the wellbeing of citizens. While proper methods to measure energy security without ignoring the different aspects and multidimensional interplay is necessary, the need for an objective evaluation with numerical indicators is of utmost importance. This research covers these gaps by providing a detailed numerical method to formulate an energy security index that is globally comprehensive, but also nationally applicable to all countries in the world. This implies to include all needed aspects and dimensions of energy security. Results of this research show the global performance of all countries in the world in energy security and the performance of these countries in each of the 15 dimensions that articulate energy security. Germany and the United States performed best in the world, when it comes to overall energy security levels, whereas the Central African Republic and Turkmenistan are on the lowest end of performance. Conclusions show that there is not a single way for development and enhancing energy security but rather different alternatives and options. Countries need to learn from each other to identify what works best for their context and implement these strategies in order to enhance energy security. Full article
