Summary
In alignment with the journal’s mission, we propose a Special Issue on "Innovative Approaches in Clean Energy Systems: Integration, Sustainability, and Policy Impact." This issue will focus on the latest advancements in the development, integration, and management of clean energy technologies and systems, with particular attention to sustainability and the influence of policy on energy transition efforts.
The Special Issue focuses on advancing clean energy solutions by exploring novel approaches to the integration and optimization of renewable energy technologies, sustainability practices, and policy frameworks. Submissions should address topics related to the development and implementation of renewable energy systems, their impact on energy grids, and their role in reducing carbon emissions.
The scope also includes innovative methods for enhancing energy efficiency, energy storage, and grid management, as well as the role of biofuels and alternative energy sources in achieving sustainability goals.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Renewable energy
Solar energy
Biomass energy
Energy generation, conversion, conservation, storage and management
Energy systems
Clean energy technologies
Smart energy system
Energy strategy and energy policy
Concentrated solar energy
Thermal electricity storage
