Energy and Environmental Efficiency of Regional Economics

Dear Colleagues,

In the current sustainable development-oriented social process, energy and environment are the important basis for the survival and development of human society. On the one hand, energy research not only focuses on conventional energy sources, but also actively develops new energy sources while increasing oil and gas production, and ensures the energy needs of economic and social development sustainably and appropriately and in the right amount at the right time based on scientific long-term planning. On the other hand, while basically meeting the needs of economic and social development, and based on the research scope of regional economics, the research field of energy development and environmental efficiency is no longer limited to traditional applications, but is increasingly applied in a variety of fields, including zero-energy buildings, green air conditioning, electric vehicles, etc., to promote green and low-carbon transformation and achieve the harmonious coexistence of human and nature, to realize the sustainable development of human society.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to present and disseminate prospective and applied advances related to all theories, policies, models, and designs related to energy and environmental efficiency.

Possible topics for publication include, but are not limited to:

• Analysis of the future industrial development and consumption potential of new energy sources such as solar, wind and biomass
• Energy transition in the context of green and low-carbon environment
• Energy prediction modeling method
• Energy optimization and decision making
• Data modeling and policy evolution analysis
• Energy efficiency measurement under environmental constraints
• Sustainable application of energy
