Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to invite you to submit your research outcomes in the area of "Advanced Low-Carbon Technologies for Clean Energy Systems" to this Special Issue of Energies.

In order to meet global climate ambitions and minimise the severe consequences of climate change, it is urged that global warming should be kept well below 1.5  °C. This requires substantial effort to first reduce the global net anthropogenic CO2 emissions to zero by mid-century, compared to that of the pre-industrial level, (net-zero emission target), and further to maintain negative net emissions. Currently, no existing technology is solely capable of addressing the climate target in the energy sector. Therefore, it is more likely that a combination of renewables, nuclear, carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), energy efficiency and fuel-switching will be deployed to reduce the carbon footprint of the global energy system.

A rapid transformation to a clean energy system not only requires the continuous improvement of existing and emerging technologies, but also the development of innovative game-changing technologies and the integration of those technologies. This transformation necessitates substantial changes in the global energy system across all sectors (power, industry, transport, building) and should be directed towards the adoption of the most affordable and reliable technologies that enable net-zero target in the required time frame.

This Special Issue, therefore, will focus on interdisciplinary research that combines advances in low-carbon technologies to enable clean energy systems and welcomes innovative technical developments, reviews, case studies and analytical articles.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
