Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cities and urban environments will play a key role in the clean energy transition and climate change mitigation, as the bulk of the energy demand, emissions, and environmental impact already originate from the cities. Due to urbanization, the role of the cities will increase in the future.
The 17th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies (SET2018) and the 2018 Wuhan Forum of World-Renowned Scientists Lecturing in Hubei was held 21–23 August, 2018, in Wuhan, China. The theme of the Conference was Sustainable Energy Technologies for Eco Cities and Environment.
The SET2018 Conference focused on topics such as Energy Storage for the Age of Renewables; Research, Innovation and Commercialization in Sustainable Energy Technologies; Integrating planning and policy, architecture, engineering and economics; energy and environment; engineering thermophysics; and systemic change for cities.
High-quality papers from the SET2018 conference will be invited to submit follow-up articles extending the presented research in this Special Issue. More information about SET2018 is found at: http://set2018.org/.
