A profound transition of energy system is central to China’s “3060” goal since the bulk of anthropogenic emissions arises from energy use. Covering the production, conversion, transmission, distribution and consumption of energy, energy system has complex internal structure and close linkages with the surrounding economic and social systems. Energy system transition towards carbon neutrality has presented tremendous challenges in a wide range of aspects, including technology, finance market, business models, governance structure, policy regime, etc. A better understanding of the dynamics and mechanism underlying energy system transition is critical to the transition management of energy systems.
Focusing on the theme of “Transition management of energy systems towards carbon neutrality”, this special issue in Frontiers of Engineering Management collects 10 papers with an aim to assess critical determinants driving transition, reveal transition paths, quantify costs and benefits, examine relevant governance and policy issues, and advise targeted measures to advance a sustainable transition of energy systems.
