Carbon Neutrality and Renewable Energy Technologies: Opportunities and Challenges
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a call for the papers on advancement of research and applications in the areas of carbon neutrality as it relates to carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), and renewable energy as it relates to solar energy, wind energy, hydro power, geothermal energy, and power generation, biomass, bioenergy, and associated energy storage systems such as battery energy storage, hydrogen underground storage, compressed air energy storage, gravity energy storage, thermal energy storage, pumped hydro, etc.
The aim of this Special Issue is to attract original research and review articles that address complex thermal, hydraulic, mechanical, chemical, and electrical phenomena via laboratory experiments, numerical simulation, field monitoring, and artificial intelligence.
