Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The transition to sustainable energy systems is pivotal to addressing climate change, energy security, and resource scarcity. As renewable energy integration, digitalization, and decarbonization reshape the global energy landscape, innovative approaches to energy efficiency and management are essential. This Special Issue explores cutting-edge strategies to overcome emerging challenges in optimizing energy performance, reducing waste, and enabling a resilient, low-carbon future.
We invite contributions from researchers, engineers, and policymakers to share their insights on technological advancements, policy frameworks, and best practices for sustainable energy systems.
This Special Issue seeks high-quality original research and review articles that address key challenges and opportunities in energy efficiency and management for sustainable energy systems. The focus is on innovative methodologies, technologies, and strategies that enhance energy performance, reduce waste, and support the transition to a low-carbon future.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Advanced energy efficiency technologies and innovative applications
- Integration and management of renewable energy sources
- Smart energy systems, digitalization, and intelligent energy management
- Energy storage and demand-side management
- Policy, economics, and behavioral aspects of energy efficiency
- Sustainable energy solutions for transportation and industrial sectors
We encourage interdisciplinary research bridging technical innovation, policy analysis, and socio-economic considerations to foster sustainable energy transitions.
This Special Issue provides a platform for advancing knowledge and practical solutions toward a more sustainable and resilient energy future. We look forward to your contributions.
