Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In response to the global challenge of climate change, more and more economies have announced the goal of “Net-Zero”. Decarbonization of energy systems plays an important role in mitigating climate change. The power system will likely experience a profound transformation to achieve zero carbon emissions in the future. The latest Sixth Assessment Report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) states that “in pathways limiting climate warming to 1.5 °C, almost all electricity will need to rely on the supply from zero- or low-carbon sources in 2050”. It is necessary to develop renewable energy and fossil energy electricity with low-carbon technologies.
Clear, stable, and well-designed policies are essential for reducing emissions. On the one hand, effective renewable energy policies have a good effect on integrating renewable energy, stimulating renewable energy investment and consumption. On the other hand, the carbon emission trading policy is a tool for controlling greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions based on market mechanisms. Two aspects are crucial for the sustainable energy system. Therefore, the purpose of this Special Issue, entitled “Sustainable Energy Systems: Integrating Renewable Energy Carbon Trading and Electricity Markets”, is to expand the study of the depths of sustainable energy systems, with a focus on clean and low-carbon energy policies, and address the pertinent economic, social, and environmental challenges. This Special Issue will publish new contributions related to renewable energy policies, sustainable energy systems, emission trading systems, low carbon energy transformation, energy structures, and integrating renewable energy.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Renewable energy policies and management;
- Low-carbon energy transformation and sustainable development;
- Emission trading system and low-carbon technologies;
- Integrated renewable energy and energy structure optimization;
- Renewable and low-carbon energy policy synergy;
- Other topics related to sustainable energy systems.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
