Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy systems have a central role in the achievement of climate neutrality and energy policy targets. Their transformation is therefore needed to ensure a sustainable energy supply contributing at the same time to reduce energy dependence and energy poverty, improve energy security and energy access and mitigate climate change. In this framework, interactions of climate and energy with technology should be regarded from multiple aspects: i) infrastructural, concerning the development of innovative technologies and robust and reliable energy infrastructures that can promote renewable deployment and guarantee energy supply; ii) strategic concerning the definition of the policy priorities, mid- and long-term action plans and investment patterns to transfer policy goals into sectoral actions; iii) socio-economic to support economic development through new business models and citizens’ engagement in order to make them protagonist of the energy systems transformation and foster the acceptance of new energy technologies and smart energy management tools.
This Special Issue aims at contributing to the debate on energy system transformation dealing with all the above-mentioned aspects with publications addressing, but not exclusively, the following issues:
- Sustainable, secure, competitive and inclusive energy supply;
- The implementation and assessment of energy and climate policies;
- Renewable energy development strategies;
- Models and tools to analyze the multiple dimensions of sustainable development and support decision making;
- Efficient, sustainable and competitive solutions for end-uses
