About This Topic
Since the OPEC Oil Embargo in 1973, the OECD countries have understood the vulnerabilities of their energy supply to international suppliers. Successive US Presidents have made it a priority to explore and develop domestic oils, gas and renewable energy sources. Electricity generation shifted away from diesel power plants because of the oil shocks. The emergence of the fuel efficiency standards, and limited uptake of hybrid and compact vehicles has only marginally affected the demand for petroleum and diesel fuel. The oil price shock of 2007-2008 and the global economic recession arrested the growth in demand for transport fuels and for electricity in most countries. The biofuel mandates did not do much to cushion the global oil supply or price shock. Green recovery deals gave subsidies for wind and solar electricity generation, and while the growth has been impressive, the emissions every year from fossil fuels have not declined.
In 2015 the COP21 Paris Agreement between the partner countries called for reduction of emissions to achieve a 60% chance of keeping global warming below 2 oC by the end of the century. In simple terms, responding to the widely declared climate emergency will require 80% downshift in fossil fuel use across the entire globe by 2040. This is the energy transition.
Energy Transition requires wide ranging and sweeping changes in urban form, transport and organization. The challenge is to deliver improved quality of life and access to activities, goods and services while using 80% less fossil fuel and materials. This is an unprecedented undertaking. The past 100 years of technical and economic research has not had the context of constrained energy and material consumption, let alone downshift. This is the time for extreme creativity and unfettered ingenuity, solidly grounded in science and engineering reality.
This special issue is a renaissance of resourcefulness and insight. We invite breakthrough thinking with rigorous analysis of specific projects in cities around the world. The special issue has a strict requirement: all of the concept projects in energy transition must be executable, demonstrate metrics of wellbeing, and exhibit long-term viability (e.g. at least 100 years), while delivering 80% downshift in fossil fuel use and material lifecycle demand (e.g. products and waste).
This may be the most challenging call for research ever issued. Most researchers may never have set themselves this kind of a challenge. The energy transition challenge requires adopting a change of perspective from modelling “sustainable solutions” to proposing and testing out “fossil fuel downshift transformations”. Many countries of the world have declared Climate Emergencies. We urge researchers with the analytical tools and knowledge of existing systems to take up the energy transition challenge for cities and buildings.

Rolf Teschke studied Medicine in Munich and Marburg, where he finished his MD thesis before starting a residency at the Department of Pathology, University of Marburg. Subsequently and with a fellowship of the Deutsche Forschungsgmeinschaft, he worked at the Bronx VA Hospital/Mount Sinai Hospital in New York during 1972–1975 together with Professor Charles S. Lieber and successfully isolated MEOS and expanded its characterization. Back in Germany, he was at the Heinrich-Heine University in Düsseldorf with a focus on alcoholic liver disease, biochemical drug studies, and clinical intoxications by halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons, where he became a Professor of Medicine. In 1987, he was offered a chief position and appointed as Director of the Medical Department II, City Hospital Hanau, Teaching Hospital of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt/Main. His clinical and research interests are on liver injury by drugs and herbs including causality assessment by RUCAM in close association with Dr. Gaby Danan in Paris. A perfect cooperation exists also with Professor Tran Dang Xuan of the University of Hiroshima, Japan. Finally, he is the author of more than 275 publications including books and book chapters, and he is editor in chief of scientific journals and member of editorial boards.
