Time is running out, while it is becoming obvious that many countries may fail to meet Paris Agreement goals. More intensive efforts should be invested with a strong emphasis on emissions decarbonisation of all sectors and energy transition towards more renewable energy sources. This work provides an overview of the impact of the energy transition on the environment, energy and water systems and the need for integration of these systems. Reduction of carbon-related emissions has been identified as the common topic through reliance on the circular economy concept, taking into account the economic dimension in an attempt to decouple economic growth from emissions. Advanced control concepts, mathematical modelling and integration of renewable energy sources with carbon capture and storage and sewage sludge treatment can be recognised as dominant topics through the recognition that energy transition offers a solution to emission problem, but raises further challenges by introducing disbalance between supply and demand side of energy systems. It is expected that present contribution will identify dominant trends under the common divisor of the energy transition and foster discussion among the experts for future studies.

时间不多了，而越来越明显的是，许多国家可能无法实现《巴黎协定》的目标。应该加大力度，重点是所有部门的排放脱碳以及向更多可再生能源的能源过渡。这项工作概述了能源转换对环境，能源和水系统的影响以及这些系统集成的必要性。依靠循环经济的概念，减少碳相关的排放已被确定为共同的主题，同时考虑到经济规模，试图将经济增长与排放脱钩。先进的控制概念，通过认识到能量过渡可以解决排放问题，但是通过引入能源供需之间的不平衡，可再生能源的数学建模和集成以及碳捕集与封存以及污水污泥处理可以被认为是主要话题。系统。预计目前的贡献将确定能源转型共同因素下的主要趋势，并促进专家之间的讨论，以供将来研究。
