The international journal "Energy Use" officially launched: Focusing on global energy hotspots and trends
Recently, the international authoritative journal "Energy Use" announced its official launch, aiming to provide a high-quality academic exchange platform for global energy researchers, policy makers and industry practitioners. The journal will focus on issues such as energy use efficiency, renewable energy development, carbon neutrality policies, and emerging energy technologies. On the occasion of its founding, we have sorted out hot energy topics and structured data around the world for nearly 10 days in order to provide readers with comprehensive industry insights.
1. Global energy hot topics in the past 10 days
1.The European energy crisis is intensifying:Affected by geopolitics and extreme weather, natural gas prices in many European countries soared, and some countries restarted coal-fired power to cope with energy shortages. 2.China's renewable energy installed capacity hits a new high:As of the third quarter of 2023, the total installed capacity of wind power and photovoltaics in China exceeded 1 billion kilowatts, accounting for more than 40% of the global total. 3.The United States releases a new version of the Clean Energy Act:The bill plans to invest $500 billion to support the research and development of solar, energy storage and hydrogen energy technologies. 4.Global carbon market trading is active:The EU's carbon price exceeded 100 euros per ton, setting a record high; the trading volume of China's national carbon market increased by 120% year-on-year. 5.Dispute on Japan's nuclear wastewater discharge:The Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant’s treatment of water and discharge from the sea has triggered extensive discussions among the international community on marine ecology and energy security.
2. Structured data: Key global energy indicators (October 2023)
| index | Value | Year-on-year changes |
|---|---|---|
| Global crude oil price (USD/barrel) | 92.5 | +18% |
| EU natural gas price (Euro/MWh) | 120 | +65% |
| China's photovoltaic installed capacity (GW) | 480 | +32% |
| Total global carbon market size (USD 100 million) | 8650 | +24% |
| Investment amount of hydrogen energy project (US$ 100 million) | 320 | +150% |
3. The mission and vision of the journal Energy Use
In his speech at the founding of Energy Use, Dr. Elena Smith, editor-in-chief of Energy Use, said: "Energy Transformation is one of the most pressing challenges in the 21st century. We hope to promote the implementation of green technologies through interdisciplinary research and provide a scientific basis for policy formulation." The journal will include the following key topics in the first issue:
1. Breakthroughs in grid-connected and energy storage technology for renewable energy 2. Analysis of low-carbonization paths in industrial fields 3. Energy poverty solutions in developing countries 4. Research on nuclear energy safety and public acceptance
4. Future prospects
The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that global clean energy investment will need to grow to US$4 trillion per year by 2030 before it can achieve the Paris Agreement climate targets. The birth of Energy Use is timely and will provide intellectual support for this transformation. The journal’s official website has opened the submission channel and plans to hold the first “Global Energy Innovation Summit” in 2024.
