Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The most significant source of carbon dioxide emissions is related to energy production and consumption. Vigorously promoting a green and low-carbon transition in the energy sector is an important measure to achieve peak carbon emissions and carbon neutrality, as well as accelerate the construction of a modern energy system. The development and utilization of solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, biomass energy, geothermal energy, and other energy sources along the entire industry chain have achieved significant results. However, the existing institutional mechanisms, policy systems, and governance methods still face some difficulties and challenges in adapting to the needs of promoting a green and low-carbon transition in the energy sector under the present circumstances. This Special Issue focuses on energy consumption, technology, systems, supply chains, and value chains, explores international cooperation, and takes into account national conditions and the coordinated development of security, stable growth, and structural adjustment. It analyzes the deepening of institutional and mechanism reforms and innovations in the energy sector, extracts mechanisms, pathways, and strategies for accelerating the construction of a clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient energy system, promotes the high-quality development of energy and the comprehensive green transition of the economy and society, and provides guarantees for achieving the goals of peak carbon emissions, carbon neutrality, and building a modern economic system.
The main objectives of this Special Issue include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Examining the influence of institutional frameworks and top-level designs on the green and low-carbon transition of the entire energy industry chain, supply chain, and value chain. Discussing the overall and partial, short-term and medium-to-long-term impacts, analyzing the complementary, coordinated, and substitute relationships among different energy varieties during the transitional stages.
- Identifying and managing risks in the green and low-carbon transition of energy, exploring the resilience, risks, and corresponding strategies in the process of transforming the supply chain, industry chain, and value chain.
- Addressing resource allocation issues in the low-carbon transition of energy, including factor distortions, energy infrastructure, key core technologies, etc.
- Researching the market–government relationship in the industrial chain, supply chain, and value chain under the background of a low-carbon energy transition.
