AUTHOR=Song Xuemei , Chen Zhujun TITLE=Pathways for an island energy transition under climate change: The case of Chongming Island, China JOURNAL=Frontiers in Energy Research VOLUME=11 YEAR=2023 URL=https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/energy-research/articles/10.3389/fenrg.2023.1126411 DOI=10.3389/fenrg.2023.1126411 ISSN=2296-598X ABSTRACT=

The normal operation of the energy system is related to the security and stability of the region and even the country. Compared with inland areas, islands can become a precedent for building a low-carbon and zero-carbon society due to geographic advantage. However, they also have to deal with more vulnerable energy systems. Taking Chongming Island as a case, this paper discusses the necessity of energy transformation from external, internal, and geographic causes, investigates the possible path of resilient energy transformation for islands, and puts forward a series of policy recommendations together with possible ways toward resilient energy transition.
