Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the world has been confronted with the dire challenges of global warming and climate change. Governments, researchers, and industries across the globe are actively seeking ways to reduce carbon emissions and shift towards cleaner and more sustainable energy systems. This Special Issue aims to incorporate a wide range of research topics, including policy analysis, technological advancements, economic impacts, and social implications, with the ultimate goal of advancing knowledge and promoting practical applications in the field of carbon emission reduction and energy transition.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Evaluation and analysis of carbon emission reduction policies and strategies;
  • Economic analysis of sustainable energy development and investment;
  • Transition to low-carbon cities and smart energy systems;
  • Behavioral and social aspects of energy consumption and transition;
  • Carbon footprint management along the supply chain;
  • Carbon markets and emission trading mechanisms;
  • Case studies on the implementation of energy policies and regulations;
  • Circular economy approaches for reducing carbon emissions;
  • The role of renewable energy in achieving decarbonization goals;
  • Impacts of climate change mitigation on economic growth and employment;
  • Energy storage technologies and their integration into grids;
  • Policy implications for transitioning from fossil fuels to clean energy sources;
  • Life cycle assessment of energy systems and infrastructure;
  • Socio-economic factors influencing energy transition and acceptance;
  • Green financing for renewable energy projects.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

A low-carbon economic optimization dispatch model of integrated energy system is proposed to improve the low-carbon and economic efficiency of the integrated energy systems. Firstly, the waste heat generator with the organic Rankine cycle is introduced into the combined heat and power to decouple the combined heat and power operation, and a coupled model with an organic Rankine cycle, power to gas, combined heat and power and carbon capture system is established. Then, the ladder-type carbon trading mechanism is introduced to improve the low-carbon model. Finally, the function is established to minimize the sum of energy purchase costs, operation and maintenance costs, and environmental costs. The proposed integrated energy systems’ low-carbon economic dispatch model reduces the total operating cost by 18.9% and the carbon emissions by 83.7% by setting up different models for comparative analysis.
