Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Transition

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue “Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Transition” calls for papers covering the various dimensions of climate change and the ongoing transition to sustainable energy.

In the wake of climate change, the global energy scenario is experiencing an unprecedented transformation. This transformation is fundamentally a sustainable or low-carbon energy transition, as the world is aiming to become zero-carbon by the mid-point of this century. The energy transition also needs to address challenges such as rapid growth in energy demand, depleting fossil fuel reserves, escalating energy prices, and energy insecurity issues.  Subsequently, with the main focus on sustainability, the energy sector is experiencing enormous changes on many fronts, including energy resources and their utilization, technological and policy advancements, and socio-economic and political response. 

This Special Issue aims to cover the broader dimensions of the ongoing sustainable energy transition. Papers are invited around topics such as global warming and climate change, energy resources, energy transition, renewable energy, low carbon technologies, energy efficiency, energy digitalization, distributed energy, hydrogen and fuel cells, electric vehicles, smart energy solutions, energy markets, and energy policy. Papers on these topics can have a diverse scope, including but not limited to scientific and technological advancements, policy development and implementation, and system application and case studies.
