Clean and Low Carbon Energy, 2nd Volume

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the rapid development of the national economy has become inseparable from the contributions of traditional fossil energy such as coal, oil and natural gas. However, fossil energy has negative impacts such as environmental pollution, global warming and economic security. In this regard, it is important to break through the key bottlenecks of pollutants, carbon emissions and energy grade loss caused by the fossil energy utilization mode, and to build a clean and low-carbon energy utilization system based on solar energy, wind energy and geothermal energy, etc., to achieve the goal of environmental protection and energy technology revolution. Clean and low-carbon energy research has achieved major successes in the past decade and is expected to drive the development of other renewable energy sources. However, although significant progress has been made in clean and low-carbon energy in recent years, there are still major challenges in the implementation of new theories, new methods and new demands. From this perspective, this topic aims to contribute to the clean and low-carbon energy agenda by enhancing scientific and multidisciplinary work, aiming to improve knowledge and performance in harvesting clean and low-carbon energy. We strongly encourage papers providing innovative technological developments, reviews, case studies and analyses, as well as assessments and manuscripts targeting different disciplines, which are relevant to harvesting clean and low-carbon energy and its associated advances and challenges. The topic includes but is not limited to:

• Renewable energy resources and technologies;
• Renewable energy harvesting and conversion;
• Energy systems and efficiency improvement;
• Advanced energy technologies;
• Energy storage and applications;
• Energy and buildings;
• Energy use in industry;
• Energy and environment;
• Energy and nanotechnology;
• Energy mangement, policy and economics.
