Abstract
The global transition toward low-carbon and sustainable energy systems is transforming energy markets, investment strategies, and financial decision-making processes. Increasing penetration of renewable energy resources, digitalization of energy infrastructure, and evolving regulatory frameworks require advanced computational tools and data-driven approaches to understand and manage market complexities.
This track explores the intersection of computational finance, energy economics, artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and sustainable energy systems. It aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and industry experts to discuss innovative methodologies and applications that support efficient, resilient, and sustainable energy transitions.
Current research hotspots include electricity price forecasting, renewable energy investment analysis, carbon trading mechanisms, sustainable finance and ESG frameworks, risk assessment in energy markets, AI-driven energy trading, energy blockchain applications, and digital technologies for market intelligence. Contributions addressing the integration of computational methods, financial innovation, and advanced analytics for supporting sustainable energy transitions are particularly encouraged.
