Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This project aims to promote renewable energy investment and sustainable development in Emerging Economies. Among the many topics, the Emerging Economics concerns, Energy Poverty Alleviation, Renewable Energy Investment and High-quality Economic Development are key areas. Research on these topics is crucial for achieving clean energy goals and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to study Energy Poverty Alleviation, Renewable Energy Investment and High-quality Economic Development in Emerging Economies, and explore the development status; implementation approach, progress and effect; challenges and opportunities; best practices and comprehensive impact on local areas of renewable energy projects. The research in this Special Issue has important theoretical and practical significance in promoting international cooperation in resources, industry, technology, finance, policies, and industry standards in the field of renewable energy, and building a clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient international energy system.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include (but are not limited to):
- Renewable energy policies of the Emerging Economies: this theme can cover renewable energy policies of different countries, including innovation policies, government subsidies, carbon tariffs, carbon trading, and energy transformation policies such as electricity, energy conservation and emission reduction.
- Assessment of the economic, social and environmental impact of renewable energy projects in Emerging Economies: focus on research such as the comprehensive impact of digital infrastructure and renewable energy development on carbon emissions, the poverty reduction effect of energy investment and high-quality economic development, and how to implement the best economic and environmental governance practices.
- Implementation progress and effect of technological innovation in the development and utilization of renewable energy: research focuses on technological innovation, especially the development and utilization of renewable energy, including solar energy, wind energy and bioenergy, and how to promote the adaptive development of these technologies in Emerging Economies. The role of technological innovation and investment in promoting the use of renewable energy, reducing carbon emissions and promoting economic growth of Emerging Economies can also be explored.
- Financing and investment of renewable energy projects: this topic focuses on the financing mode of renewable energy projects, strategies to attract domestic and foreign investment, and the role of financial institutions of the Emerging Economies.
- International energy transformation cooperation, cross-border renewable energy cooperation and cross-border power trade: this topic discusses the prospects and ways of energy transformation cooperation, opportunities and challenges of cross-border renewable energy cooperation and cross-border power trade in Emerging Economies. The following aspects will be given priority consideration: grid interconnection and energy transformation cooperation in the Asia Pacific region; energy transformation cooperation and cross-border power trade; cooperation between the Chinese Mainland and Taiwan in the field of renewable energy under the Belt and Road Initiative and corresponding policy support; how geopolitical risks affect energy transformation and cross-border energy cooperation.
- Case studies and sharing of best practices: this topic studies the implementation and effectiveness of specific cases, shares successful practical experiences, and provides recommendations for other countries and projects.
