Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

While it is impossible to imagine a world without fossil fuel consumption right now, recent trends have shown that the race towards a net-zero emission or decarbonized future is on and these targets are attainable. Global energy consumption is expected to shift to renewable energy sources in the future, however, it is important to develop more methods and models that can be used to maximize renewable energy utilization. Preliminary research and existing studies have shown that hydrogen production will be integral to renewable energy development as well as to the future of transport sectors.

This special issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent and novel advancements related to the theory, modeling, experiments, design, application, and the integral role of hydrogen production in renewable energy development.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

  • All aspects and applications of hydrogen energy
  • Hydrogen production (power-to-gas)
  • Fuel cells
  • Application of hydrogen energy in the transport sector
  • Electric Vehicles (BEVs, FCEVs, HFEVs)
  • Hydrogen energy storage
  • Hydrogen production and renewable energy development
  • Future energy planning with hydrogen
  • Global decarbonization and hydrogen energy
  • Energy/exergy analysis of multigeneration systems integrated with hydrogen production.
  • Power Systems
  • Hydrogen energy trading and geopolitics

The greenhouse effect formed by the massive emission of carbon dioxide has caused serious harm to the Earth’s environment, in which the power sector constitutes one of the primary contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing carbon emissions from electricity plays a pivotal role in minimizing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating the ecological, economic, and social impacts of climate change, while carbon emission prediction provides a valuable point of reference for the formulation of policies to reduce carbon emissions from electricity. The article provides a detailed review of research results on deep learning-based carbon emission prediction. Firstly, the main neural networks applied in the domain of carbon emission forecasting at home and abroad, as well as the models combining other methods and neural networks, are introduced, and the main roles of different methods, when combined with neural networks, are discussed. Secondly, neural networks were used to predict electricity carbon emissions, and the performance of different models on carbon emissions was compared. Finally, the application of neural networks in the realm of the prediction of carbon emissions is summarized, and future research directions are discussed. The article provides a reference for researchers to understand the research dynamics and development trend of deep learning in the realm of electricity carbon emission forecasting. Full article

The emerging energy transition is particularly described as a move towards a cleaner, lower-carbon system. In the context of the global shift towards sustainable energy sources, this paper reviews the potential and roadmap for hydrogen energy as a crucial component of the clean energy landscape. The primary objective is to present a comprehensive literature overview, illuminating key themes, trends, and research gaps in the scientific discourse concerning hydrogen production and energy policy. This review focuses particularly on specified geographic contexts, with an emphasis on understanding the unique energy policies related to renewable energy in Brazil, Austria, and Germany. Given their distinct social systems and developmental stages, this paper aims to delineate the nuanced approaches these countries adopt in their pursuit of renewable energy and the integration of hydrogen within their energy frameworks. Brazil exhibits vast renewable energy potential, particularly in wind and solar energy sectors, positioning itself for substantial growth in the coming years. Germany showcases a regulatory framework that promotes innovation and technological expansion, reflecting its highly developed social system and commitment to transitioning away from fossil fuels. Austria demonstrates dedication to decarbonization, particularly through the exploration of biomethane for residential heating and cooling. Full article
