Editorial for the Special Issue: Assessment of Renewable Energy Resources with Remote Sensing

Abstract

The development of renewable energy sources plays a fundamental role in the transition towards a low carbon economy. Considering that renewable energy resources have an intrinsic relationship with meteorological conditions and climate patterns, methodologies based on the remote sensing of the atmosphere are fundamental sources of information to support the energy sector in planning and operation procedures. This Special Issue is intended to provide a highly recognized international forum to present recent advances in remote sensing to data acquisition required by the energy sector. After a review, a total of eleven papers were accepted for publication. The contributions focus on solar, wind, and geothermal energy resource. This editorial presents a brief overview of each contribution.

Economic Growth Model and Renewable Energy Utilization: Perspective of Natural Resources Management and Sustainable Development of the Gowa Regency Region South Sulawesi, Indonesia

“…Thus, optimizing the use of natural resources is very important to integrate with the strengthening of human resource capacity through government policy support towards the use of renewable energy and sustainable regional development. Thus, optimizing the use of natural resources through the support of sustainable human resource management (HRM) is oriented towards several principles, namely concern for the environment, profitability, labor participation, external partnerships, flexibility, cooperation, fairness, and equality (Caruso et al, 2020;Martins, 2020;Hernita et al, 2021). Per capita income of the population by district area in Gowa Regency is presented in Table 7 below.…”
