Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The energy sector has seen serious transformation worldwide owing to economic, technological and environmental development. These changes have occurred worldwide, yet different regions have faced different types of objectives, policies and barriers. Therefore, there is a need for understanding the effects of energy policies across different regions of the world and thereby ensure the spill-over of best practices. On the other hand, support models are needed to set the reasonable targets for energy policies.
As the energy sector impacts such spheres as economy and the environment, an integrated approach is highly desirable. What is more, the levels of decision making in the energy sector nowadays comprise individual users (or prosumers), energy companies, grids and regions with (inter)national bodies of regulation. Thus, the studies aiming at unveiling the effects of energy policies at different levels, regions, and parts of the energy supply chain are welcome in this Special Issue. The topics covered are as follows:
- Sustainable Energy Production and Use Across the Regions;
- Sustainable Energy Policy;
- Theoretical Developments in Energy Planning;
- Sustainable and Renewable Energy Technologies;
- Energy Efficiency on Demand and Supply Side;
- Smart Grids and Virtual Grids;
- Productivity Analysis Involving Energy and/or Environmental Pressures;
- GHG Emission and Its Decomposition;
- Climate Change Mitigation Policies in Energy Sector;
- MCDA Tools for Decision Making in Energy Sector;
- Energy System Modelling and its Implication on Energy Policy.
