About the Journal

Clean Energy is an open access, peer-reviewed international journal and serves as an important medium to present the latest research developments and knowledge on topics related to clean energy.

Energy is crucial for prosperity and development as well as playing a key role in driving innovation. The transition of the world fuel energy mix from fossil fuels towards renewable energy will take time. Clean Energy’s content will highlight the importance of clean utilization of fossil energy, renewable energy and increased energy efficiency as key elements to achieve an economic and ecological sustainable energy future.

The journal will enable and encourage the facilitation of sharing original research, reviews, perspectives, top insight, and methodological/technical papers, innovative ideas amongst the research and engineering community.

Aims and scope of the journal

Clean Energy provides a high profile platform for scientists, academic researchers, engineers and industrial professionals to publish papers of the highest quality and significance in all areas of clean energy. Submissions will be blind reviewed and accepted papers will be published online and paginated into the issue bi-monthly.

Research areas covered in the journal include:

• Carbon neutrality: Reducing GHG emissions from the industrial and utility sectors by carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS); reducing atmospheric CO2 via direct air capture (DAC).
• Renewable energy: Clean energy from non-fossil fuel sources, including: solar energy; wind energy; hydro and wave energy; hydrogen and fuel cells; biomass energy and biofuels.
• Innovative energy generation and use: Technologies that advance clean and low-carbon energy, including advanced clean coal technologies (CCT); hybrid energy generation systems, for example, combining thermal power generation and concentrated solar power, combined heat and power systems.
• Fundamental chemistry and materials science to support clean energy: Fundamental advances in chemical processes or materials for generating and storing clean energy.
• Energy storage and conversion: Systems or devices for storing and dispatching energy, including batteries, ultracapacitors, fuel cells, compressed air storage, thermal energy storage and generation, hydro energy storage, kinetic energy storage.
