Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The different activities related to the generation and consumption of energy are subject to intense and continuous changes. The need to undertake the so-called energy transition means that the intensity of the changes can only be increased. The energy transition is based, to a large extent, on technological innovation. In the energy sector, the technologies, contexts and solutions involved are many and very diverse. The very diversity and complexity of the solutions and the essential need to adjust them to each context mean that the management of technology and innovation have, in the energy sector, peculiar characteristics.
The specific characteristics of the sector influence the innovation and technology strategies of the companies involved, both companies from the energy sector itself and other organisations willing to streamline their access to the energy. Additionally, governmental policies to promote the innovation and technological development of the sector have to take into account its particular characteristics.
This Special Issue aims to contribute, therefore, to broadening knowledge on a topic of critical importance now, the management of technology and innovation in the field of energy. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Energy innovation management methods and tools
- Energy innovation strategy at country level
- Energy innovation support policies and programs
- Energy trends
- Specific characteristics of the of innovation in the energy field
- Specific characteristics of the of technology management in the energy field
- Stakeholder management in the energy transition projects
- Technology strategies of the companies of the energy field.
