Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global transition to a low-carbon energy system is a critical step toward achieving climate neutrality and sustainable development. As nations strive to meet their decarbonization targets by 2050, effective management strategies, policy frameworks, and technological advancements are essential to ensuring a smooth and efficient transformation. This Special Issue aims to explore innovative approaches to managing the low-carbon energy transition, addressing key challenges such as energy security, grid stability, policy integration, and economic feasibility.
We invite original research and review articles covering topics including, but not limited to, renewable energy integration, energy storage solutions, smart grids, carbon capture technologies, and the role of digitalization in energy management. Contributions analyzing policy instruments, economic models, and sector-specific case studies are also welcome. By bringing together insights from academia, industry, and policymakers, this Special Issue seeks to advance knowledge on optimizing the energy transition while balancing sustainability, efficiency, and economic viability.
