Summary
This special issue aims to explore the emerging technologies, techniques and innovations in green energy engineering to help achieve the net-zero emissions target. The purpose of this collective is to connect cutting-edge research and innovative practices from a broad range of disciplines to optimize energy systems for sustainable development while minimizing their environmental footprints. This issue aims to tackle key challenges such as energy efficiency enhancement, renewable energy integration, carbon footprint reduction, and resilient and sustainable infrastructure through multidisciplinary approaches. The scope of this issue covers a wide range of topics, including but not limited to the design and implementation of innovative renewable energy technologies, smart energy management systems, new storage solutions, and decarbonisation strategies in sectors such as industry, transport and urban development. The report also highlights the impact of new technologies such as AI, blockchain, and IoT in transforming energy systems, making them more efficient and reliable. In line with global efforts toward climate change mitigation (e.g., the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Paris Agreement), this special issue recognizes that research should enable practical and scalable solutions for a rapid and seamless transition to green energy. By supporting research that fills a gap between belief and implementation, it seeks to provoke cooperative inventions that may be implemented in both local and global reaches. The issue also examines policy frameworks, economic models and the societal dimension to aid the transition to the adoption of green energy solutions. By focusing on collaborative approaches and shared benefits across stakeholders, the title aims to promote equitable access to sustainable energy resources through public-private partnerships and community engagement. This special issue aims to contribute significantly to the larger academic semantic network by adopting a multi-faceted and forward-looking perspective on carbon neutrality, providing meaningful resources for researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and others who are striving towards a carbon-neutral future. This initiative intends to encourage energies for power long-lasting and environmental preserve for future proactive generations by exhibiting cutting-edge research and real-world schemes.
The special issue aims to provide a platform for researchers, scientists, and engineers to present cutting-edge developments in green energy engineering. The goal is to enhance understanding, innovation, and practical implementation of energy systems optimized for sustainability, with a primary focus on achieving net-zero emissions.
