Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy systems worldwide are currently undergoing an unprecedented transformation, with growing energy demand, climate change, and global commitments to decarbonization driving fundamental shifts in the way energy is generated, distributed, and consumed. These changes are further complicated by technological disruption, market volatility, and the need for resilient infrastructure in the face of environmental and operational stresses. Addressing such challenges requires interdisciplinary research that bridges science, engineering, economics, and policy to develop holistic solutions. This Special Issue is dedicated to advancing knowledge in these critical areas, while also fostering dialogue between academia, industry, and government.
We particularly welcome contributions that examine renewable energy integration, energy efficiency strategies, and advanced storage and conversion technologies. Studies on the hydrogen economy, electrification of transport, and digital innovations such as smart grids, artificial intelligence, and big data for energy management are of special interest. Equally important are analyses of policy mechanisms, governance models, and circular economy frameworks that support sustainable transitions and minimize environmental impacts.
Aligned with the broad mission of Energies, the Special Issue emphasizes research that not only advances scientific and technological progress but also provides practical pathways toward implementation. Our goal is to attract high-quality scholarship that highlights novel methods, scalable technologies, and systemic strategies that will shape the energy systems of the future. By gathering diverse perspectives and innovative research, this Special Issue aims to inform the global conversation on energy transitions and inspire new directions for sustainable energy development.
