The COVID-19 pandemic affected many countries and economic sectors. The energy sector has been challenged too. Different measures were put in place which caused disruptions in the mobility of people, goods, and materials, and reduced the output of economic activities.
The global energy crisis triggered in 2022 has dimmed prospects of a post-pandemic recovery and has caused profound and long-lasting changes that have the potential to hasten the energy transition. Moreover, energy crisis lends urgency to many nations’ plan to decarbonize, shifting from dependency of fossil fuels to sustainable options.
The transition to a more sustainable and secure energy system requires considerable planning, infrastructure, and collaboration. Therefore, the design of effective energy and climate policies is not a simple task. Policies that address the short-term emergency while ensuring countries’ climate-related and other sustainable development commitments must be pursued towards containing the crises’ outbreak.
Facing the above challenges, we think it is necessary to strengthen interdisciplinary research, engage the academic community in the analysis of the emerging trends and help practitioners, the business community and policy makers to understand and share the dynamics of sustainable energy transition.
Potential topics for this Special Issue include, but will not be limited to, the following topics:
- Economics of energy resources
- Technoeconomic analysis and evaluation of energy systems
- Energy market modelling and design of innovative market mechanisms
- Management of energy resources
- Energy system analysis and planning
- Security and reliability of energy supply
- Energy system modelling, simulation and scenario development
- Renewable and decentralized energy systems and smart grids
- Energy and climate policy and planning tools
- Green Manufacturing
- Sustainable energy cities and communities
We invite researchers to submit high-quality original research articles, reviews or short communications on the above research topics. The Special Issue welcomes both qualitative and quantitative studies, as well as empirical and theoretical contributions.
