Welcome to CUE2018-Applied Energy Symposium and Forum 2018: Low carbon cities and urban energy systems.

Cities are responsible for approximately three-quarters of the world's energy consumption and they therefore play a major role in energy issues such as economic security and climate change. The CUE2018, with theme of “Cleaner Energy for Cleaner City”, is to provide a platform focused on urban energy systems, covering the topics of energy supply, distribution, and end use; smart eco-cities, urban transportation with efficient energy and low emissions; microgrid and smart home; BIPV and renewable applications; urban waste to energy; nexus of energy-water; policy options etc.

The event consists of two-day symposium for sharing the most recent progress of research in urban energy systems and one-day forum to engage all stakeholders for discussing how future urban energy systems can be implemented.

The CUE2018 is organized by the international journal, Applied Energy, Applied Energy Innovation Institute (AEii), Tongji University, China Association for Science and Technology (CAST)/HOME program, and co-organized by Future Energy Profile/Mälardalen University Sweden, Shanghai Key Lab of Urban Regeneration & Spatial Optimization Technology, and MOE Joint Laboratory for International Cooperation on Eco-Urban Design.

We are looking forward to meeting you in Shanghai, China.
