Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global energy development is gradually transitioning towards cleanliness and low-carbon, and low-carbon development will change our way of life and production, especially in energy utilization. This requires innovative development of low-carbon technologies to meet the requirements of low-carbon development. Meanwhile, the low-carbon model is not achieved overnight and requires gradual transformation within the existing energy system, ultimately meeting low-carbon goals through technological applications and energy structure transformation. This will require higher demands for low-carbon development paths.
Based on this, our magazine takes "xxx" as the theme, hoping to solicit research results from scholars related to global energy management and low-carbon development, generate thinking collisions, further enhance the level of low-carbon economic development, and better promote the global low-carbon transformation.
This special issue welcomes original research articles and reviews. The research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Research on Low Carbon Development Path and Industrial Transformation for Global Industrial Chain
- Research on the Technological Evolution Path and Application Methods for Low Carbon Energy Technologies
- Economic feasibility study of low-carbon technology in power system considering terminal electricity price level
- Research on Optimization Technology for Low Carbon Energy System Management Considering the Integration of Electricity, Hydrogen, and Carbon
- Research on the Economy and Business Model of Long distance Transmission for Centralized New Energy Power Stations
- Research on Low Carbon Technology Innovation Investment and Sustainable Development Strategy for Energy Enterprises
- Research on the Development of New Energy Storage Low Carbon Security Management for Large scale New Energy Access
- Research on Optimization Method of Urban Carbon Emission Reduction Path Driven by Carbon Emission Space.
I/We look forward to receiving your contributions.
