The World Health Organization declared Covid-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020, causing huge impact on people’s lives, families and communities. The coronavirus pandemic has created an unprecedented global health and economic crisis. Apart from the toll of early deaths, economic activity has stalled and stock markets have tumbled; while a wide range of energy markets has been severy affected – including coal, gas and renewables. This crisis highlighted the critical value of the health care infrastructure and the electricity infrastructure. In view of the above, while governments and policy makers respond to these interlinked crises, they must not lose sight of a major challenge of our time: clean energy transitions. This Special Issue, therefore, seeks to throw light to the adverse effects of Covid-19 through enhanced scientific and multi-disciplinary knowledge. We therefore invite papers on innovative technical developments, reviews, case studies, short communications, analytical, as well as assessment, papers from different disciplines, which are relevant mainly to the Energy, Economic, and Environmental related impacts of Covid-19.
