Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The transition to advanced low-carbon energy technologies has become pivotal in addressing global climate challenges and achieving sustainable development. These technologies are no longer confined to traditional renewable energy systems but are rapidly expanding into emerging domains such as tiny nuclear batteries, large-scale energy storage, smart grid integration, green hydrogen production, carbon capture, storage, and utilization, and bioenergy usage. This diversification has catalysed breakthroughs in materials innovation, energy efficiency, digitalization, and lifecycle sustainability, enabling solutions marked by high energy density, cost-effectiveness, and minimal ecological impacts. Concurrently, the urgency to decarbonize industries, transportation, and urban infrastructure has accelerated research in hybrid energy systems, AI-based optimization, and circular economy frameworks, fostering more innovative and resilient energy innovation ecosystems. However, these advanced technologies' scalability and widespread adoption face hurdles, including intermittent renewable generation, material scarcity, public acceptance, and regulatory fragmentation. This has spurred advancements in predictive maintenance, policy-inclusive design, and cross-sectoral integrations to enhance reliability and socioeconomic viability.
This Special Issue highlights cutting-edge developments in conceptualizing, modelling, deploying, and managing advanced low-carbon energy technologies, emphasizing their role in achieving net-zero targets.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced nuclear technologies;
- Large-scale energy storage;
- Smart grid integration;
- Green hydrogen transportation;
- Carbon capture, storage, and utilization;
- Bioenergy innovations;
- Next-generation photovoltaics;
- Marine-related energy innovations;
- Geothermal systems;
- Integrated energy applications;
- Technology management.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
