Dear Colleagues,
Carbon neutrality, along with the energy shortage is great in need for the development of the industrial area. Meanwhile, greenhouse gas emissions and environmental protection, and carbon relating things have become the most prominent problems facing the whole world along with the technologies. The research and development of green energy and low-carbon environmental technologies will also result in the care of the countries, such as how to control the carbon emission, how the use the proper model to build the system, how to explain the existing issues in the aspect of the economics. Carbon neutrality and new energy pays more attention to solving the constraints of energy and resource shortage and promoting the sustainable development of society. For example, biological cornerstone naphtha and biomethane obtained from organic waste instead of fossil raw materials are used in the production of basic chemicals needed for coatings, thus avoiding nearly 40% of the carbon dioxide emissions in production, and maintaining the same performance as traditional coatings, not only help to protect natural resources but also effectively reduce carbon emissions. The environmentally friendly model in cities and area to assist a reasonable method. To achieve this goal, the research in this column is increasingly encouraged to put sustainability innovations into practice.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Low-carbon technologies to energy saving and energy harvesting;
- Economic policy and method in low-carbon environmental society;
- Energy harvesting and functional materials;
- Self-powered system and sensor for environmental issues;
- Carbon neutrality in various area;
- Advanced recyclable bio-fabrication;
- Advanced digital twin in Low-carbon equipment technologies;
- Gas emission and environmental protection;
- Machine learning and IoT in renewable and cities;
- long term low-carbon path;
- Other potential applications by renewable materials and system.
