With the advent of the energy production and consumption revolution, transportation is undergoing a transformation from inefficient and polluting to efficient, clean and low-carbon operations. In order to solve the main contradiction between the environmental problems caused by the burning of fossil fuels and the requirements of high quality economic development, the sustainable transportation is a long-term research topic in the energy community. The urgent need to decarbonize our transportation system - to shift from petroleum-based fuels to cleaner, more sustainable energy sources - has become increasingly apparent. Breakthroughs in energy can improve transportation sources, energy efficiency and the potential for environmental sustainability, while also benefiting economic and scientific processes. These can ultimately help combat climate change, strengthen energy markets, and foster future innovation.
Energy researchers have made a number of breakthroughs that have the potential to dramatically improve the performance of transportation energy. This Research Topic aims to collect the methods, results, and potential impacts of landmark transportation energy studies. The immediate goal is to provide industry and policymakers with the scientific knowledge, data, and tools needed to determine which alternatives can prove to be the most viable and beneficial to drivers, businesses, and the environment. Ultimately, the commercial application of transportation energy innovations can make it possible to cut emissions, reduce oil use, and contribute to the ambitious goal of reversing global warming.
We seek contributions covering the topics including, but not limited to, the subjects below:
? Advanced propulsions
? Low- or zero-carbon fuels and low temperature combustion theories
? Intelligent thermal management
? Low friction
? Energy saving and emission reduction
? Electric and hybrid electric powertrains
? Other topics related to low carbon vehicles, ships and aircraft
