Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to adhere to the principles of the "world-energy-outlook". According to this, “Global fossil fuel use has grown alongside GDP since the start of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century: putting this rise into reverse will be a pivotal moment in energy history. The share of fossil fuels in the global energy mix in the Stated Policies Scenario falls from around 80% to just above 60% by 2050. Global CO2 emissions fall back slowly from a high point of 37 billion tonnes per year to 32 billion tonnes by 2050. This would be associated with a rise of around 2.5 °C in global average temperatures by 2100, far from enough to avoid severe climate change impacts. Full achievement of all climate pledges would move the world towards safer ground, but there is still a large gap between today’s pledges and a stabilisation of the rise in global temperatures around 1.5 °C”.
We hope that this Special Issue will serve as a platform for sharing information on new methods, procurement processes and technologies, practical applications, current analysis, findings, and experiences in research, revolving around topics such as biomass and biogas. We aim to promote research that contributes to the development, integration, and possible improvements of renewable energy technologies in different sectors, and encourage producers, planners and managers, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and decision-makers to share their most recent findings. Specifically, we hope to share information and experiences regarding the benefits of using renewable energy.
