Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The urgency of addressing climate change has intensified the need for innovative energy-efficient strategies to reduce carbon emissions across various sectors. Energy efficiency plays a crucial role in achieving carbon neutrality by minimizing energy waste, optimizing energy use, and integrating low-carbon technologies. Recent advancements in energy systems, smart grids, and industrial decarbonization highlight the potential of emerging strategies to mitigate carbon footprints while ensuring economic and environmental sustainability.
This Special Issue invites cutting-edge research on energy-efficient solutions for carbon emission reduction. We welcome contributions that explore novel energy management systems, the role of digitalization and artificial intelligence in optimizing energy use, policy frameworks for promoting energy efficiency, sector-specific decarbonization approaches, and interdisciplinary studies integrating environmental and economic perspectives. Both original research articles and comprehensive review papers are encouraged.
We look forward to your valuable contributions that will advance knowledge in this field and support the global transition toward a low-carbon future.
