The global energy transition is reshaping the future of energy systems and requires an integrated approach to address the interrelated challenges of technology, economics, and policy. This transition involves more than just the deployment of renewable technologies; it also requires innovative economic frameworks and robust policy solutions. As countries strive to meet sustainability goals while maintaining economic growth, the path to a low-carbon future presents both significant opportunities and challenges.

Technological innovation is at the heart of the energy transition. Advances in renewable energy, energy storage, grid integration, and smart grids are critical to scaling sustainable energy solutions. However, technical barriers to large-scale deployment remain, especially for developing countries, which face additional obstacles such as technology dependence, limited access to infrastructure, and financing constraints. Investing in research and development, capacity building, and international cooperation is critical to overcoming these barriers. Ensuring that all nations can participate in and benefit from the energy transition is critical to global sustainability.

The economic challenges are equally pressing. The financial viability of renewable energy projects, the dynamics of energy markets, and the role of subsidies and incentives all require careful consideration. In addition, understanding the economic impacts of energy transitions across sectors and regions is key to designing equitable solutions.

On the policy front, effective energy transitions require well-designed and implemented regulations. Comparative analyses of national and regional energy policies can identify best practices and highlight the different approaches countries are taking to support the transition.

We invite submissions of original research articles, reviews, case studies, and theoretical papers that explore the technological, economic, and policy aspects of energy transitions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

· Emerging technologies in renewable energy and storage systems,
· Economic models for sustainable energy transitions,
· Policy and regulatory frameworks for energy transition and renewable energies adoption,
· The role of digitalization and data in energy management,
· Financing mechanisms for energy transition projects,
· Social and environmental impacts of the energy transition,
· Comparative studies on national and regional energy transition strategies,
· Innovations in energy efficiency and demand-side management.
