Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is a clear target for carbon neutrality by 2050 in all sectors. In order to support this vision and achieve the 80 to 95% overall GHG reduction objective by 2050, there is an urgent need to design, implement and monitor climate change mitigation policies. This commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050, with an intermediary target of a 55% reduction from the 1990 baseline year by 2030, puts pressure on the industry, agriculture, transportation, and buildings sectors. The current geopolitical situation and impact on energy costs and delivery have further exacerbated the need to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels. New technologies that are efficient, cost effective, resilient and sustainable will play a key role in the low carbon vision. A strategic energy technology plan is crucial in all sectors (buildings, industry, transportation, etc.), countries and regions promoting the transition to a low-carbon economy, also taking into consideration the social acceptability of the measures and the technologies suggested. Low-carbon energy policies should also be supported by tools, certifications, methodologies and standardization and ensure collaboration with the circular economy perspectives.
