Abstract

Abstract: Energy plays a leading role in supporting the smart concepts, such as the Internet of Things and data storage, for the advanced development of cities and industries. The smart-concept makes use of the information and communication technologies (ICT) to supply information required for effective management. This Special Issue in Energy includes the latest developments in energy research presented at the 4 th International Conference on Low Carbon Asia & Beyond (ICLCA′18) with the theme "Transition to Sustainable Energy System for Smart Cities and Industries", held in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, on 24–26 October 2018. ICLCA hosted over 200 oral and 50 poster presentations. Thirty papers are included in this special issue which constitutes the latest developments in energy research. ICLCA serves as a yearly conference which provides a platform for the researchers and stakeholders from the academic community, industry sectors, and governments in Asia to share their experience, knowledge, and expertise in sustainability. The main purpose is to catalyse the transformation of low CO2 emissions development in the context of Asia and beyond. The paper covers a range of topics relevant to a sustainable energy system: (i) smart energy systems, (ii) low CO2 emissions technologies, (iii) biomass and pollution reduction, and (iv) renewable energy.
