Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Energy resources are critical to achieving sustainable development of our society during this period of complexity and uncertainty, of rapid population growth and global industrialization. Currently, there are many myths related to the development of the global energy system in the future. It is time to challenge our myths. The main goal of this issue is to expose the myths dealing with development of global energy system.
This issue focuses on providing the reliable information required by the energy community under pressure from the changing energy situation in the world. The main topics up for discussion in submissions include but are not limited to the following:
(1) Global energy demand in the nearest 30-50 years.
(2) Do we really have a shortage of fossil fuel resources?
(3) Fossil fuels: can we turn the unconventional into conventional?
(4) Fossil fuels and renewables: are they competitors or complementors?
(5) Can we really reduce global GHG emissions by 50% by 2050?
This Special Issue aims to publish high-quality research papers on the inter-disciplinary field of different aspects of the global energy system transition. We welcome papers that cover fundamental studies and new technology presentations, as well as experimental and modelling approaches to energy resources in service of society.
