Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is pivotal to achieve net zero CO2 emissions by the middle of this century if we want to limit global temperature rise within 1.5 ℃ compared to pre-industrial levels. Following the declaration of carbon neutrality by many countries, the transition to more sustainable energy, such as the agreement on phasing out the use of coal-fired power (in COP 26), is key to achieving global carbon neutrality. More than 138 countries, including countries such as the US, China, Japan, India, and South Korea, as well as all Member States of the EU, have declared or supported carbon neutrality, and companies such as Apple and Google are also declaring carbon neutrality or participating in the RE100 campaign. The energy sector accounts for about three-quarters of global greenhouse gas emissions, and thus, accelerating energy transition and continuous innovation are required. In such a situation, all initiatives that a government takes to reduce carbon emissions in the energy sector will play a very important role. In particular, the mid-to long-term policy direction should be well established at this early stage. In this Special Issue, any kind of theoretical and empirical study that deals with government policies (as well as firms’ strategies) to mitigate carbon emissions in the energy sector would be welcomed.
