Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit your paper for consideration in MDPI’s Special Issue entitled “Policy and Finance for Clean Energy Transition”. This issue will focus on policy and finance for the energy system transition required to reach our ambitious climate targets.
In this context, energy system transition means not only deploying more green technologies (e.g., solar, wind, battery storage, electric vehicles, hydrogen, etc.) but also deploying less brown technologies (e.g., coal, natural gas, etc.). It also means developing infrastructure that enables the brown to green transition, e.g., modification of natural gas pipelines for carrying (green) hydrogen.
Furthermore, while the focus is on (ex-post) analysis and (ex-ante) design of policies (e.g., subsidies) and financial instruments (e.g., green bonds), this issue will also consider broader techno-economic analysis as well as business model development with policy implications.
Dr. Gireesh Shrimali
