Fossil energy supports the development of human society but is facing depletion because of industrialization. In order to solve the formidable problem in compatibility and coordination between energy utilization and the environment and accelerate the development of sustainable energy, it is pressing to realize the transition from fossil to sustainable energy as soon as possible to solve common challenges in human development. Energy technology revolution will bring new opportunities and challenges in the development of the engineering thermophysics discipline. According to urgent needs for energy, power and environmental issues and new progress in discipline development, the Chinese Society of Engineering Thermophysics is aiming for constructing a sustainable energy system and carrying out strategic research on the development of an energy paradigm and frontier growth point of the engineering thermophysics discipline in China. The new integrated development paradigm of energy, resources, and environment provides a promising support for the realization of a sustainable energy strategy. Key objectives of the new development paradigm is to open up new channels of sustainable energy, carry out an energy diversification strategy, and try to solve the formidable problems in compatibility and coordination between energy utilization and the environment, including clean utilization of traditional fossil energy sources, development of green energy, and integration of energy resources into the environment. Important research directions for future development in the engineering thermophysics discipline include: thermophysical properties of an environment friendly working medium; modern analysis methods for new energy sources; combustion under extreme conditions; theories and methods for efficient, clean, and low carbon conversion of fuels; efficient conversion and utilization of solar energy; regional, intelligent, and diversified utilization of wind energy; new methods and mechanisms for efficient and low-cost utilization of biomass; comprehensive cascade utilization of chemical and physical energy sources of fuels; distributed energy system with multiple energy source complementation and its optimization integration theory; energy consumption minimization principle on CO2 capture based on comprehensive cascade utilization of energy; and novel high-efficiency energy storage method based on entropy principle. |
