Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
CO2 emission has increased exponentially since 1950, which has led to an acceleration of climate change globally. As a result of global warming, natural disasters such as floods and extreme weather are becoming more frequent, making us face the urgent need to deal with climate change. The Paris Agreement propelled all the countries in the world to contribute to slowing down global warming. Achieving carbon neutrality has become an important goal for a growing number of countries. Consequently, countries across the world are planning system-level energy transition from current carbon-intensive and low-efficiency energy system to future deeply decarbonized, energy-efficient, and highly renewable solutions. Developing new energy and achieving energy transformation by reducing fossil fuel consumption and constructing a green, low-carbon energy system are the important measures to lower carbon dioxide emissions and implement global carbon neutrality. Researching low-carbon energy and sustainable energy transition is of great significance for achieving human sustainability.
After the successful publication of the first Special Issue of “Low Carbon Energy and Sustainability” in the journal Sustainability, it gained wide attention from scholars. Based on this success, we are now presenting the second edition.
This Special Issue offers a platform where topics related to low-carbon energy consumption, energy transition, low-carbon behaviour and sustainability, and corresponding policies are encouraged to be presented and published within a unified framework.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Mechanism and policy for promoting the large-scale consumption of renewable energy power.
- Energy consumption and energy-consuming behaviour in residential sector.
- Technological progress and policy support for novel energy storage.
- Low-carbon technological innovation in the energy field.
- Sustainable development of new and renewable energy.
- Power trading mechanism design for promoting the developing renewable energy and energy storage.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
