The research topic explores the quantitative and qualitative dimensions of energy system decarbonization, as the increasing interconnectedness of different energy-related sectors and the considerable development of cross-sectoral technologies lead to a high degree of uncertainty regarding the costs, benefits, and even risks of energy system decarbonization. Therefore, the study of energy decarbonization from a multi-energy integration perspective has become a global challenge for academia and practitioners. Many interesting topics deserve to be studied, such as sector coupling for flexibility provision and Cyber-Physical-Social interactive systems for decarbonization. All these promising topics require greater research efforts to address the technical, economic, and climate aspects of energy systems with systemic approaches and ultimately achieve efficient decarbonization. Overall, research, analysis, methodology, and synthesis papers on Multi-Energy Integration towards energy decarbonization are warmly welcomed.
The energy system plays a critical role in moving toward a net-zero future. The ongoing development of energy-related sectors and associated cutting-edge technologies are transforming current energy systems, making them a highly coupled whole. This change opens up the opportunity to optimize system design and operations from a higher level to achieve energy savings and emissions reductions. However, it is not easy to redesign the original systems into more integrated forms. The interactions between different energy vectors and energy-related sectors, as well as the flexibility provided by different energy vectors and energy-related sectors, need to be explored using novel solutions. Therefore, we encourage the experts who are interested in the topic of Muti-Energy Integration towards Energy Decarbonization to contribute their insights to advance the realization of the concept.
Integrating originally separate systems into a whole is urgent to find the best way to decarbonize the energy system, but it is a complex process. Some new theories and methods could help characterize and guide the process. In specific areas, the relevant content even relates to more details such as specific supporting technologies and processes. Therefore, the scope of this topic is broad and includes not only the proposal of new concepts and modification of some classical theories but also the development of some specific implementation schemes or strategies for a concrete area.
