Sustainable energy is a form of energy that meet our today's demand of energy without putting them in danger of getting expired or depleted and can be used over and over again. Sustainable energy should be widely encouraged as it do not cause any harm to the environment and is available widely fr...

The research and development of smart grids and microgrids in the last decades is the way how some countries have modernized their transmission and distribution networks in order to respond to the challenges and problems that the grid has to face, such as the increasing demand or the higher penet...

The use of solar energy is expected to increase around the world in the coming years. Particularly at middle and at low latitudes, it will be the main source of energy supporting the economy after global and local crises. Due in part to its reduced past environmental ...

Wind, wave and tidal energy—commonly recognized as clean and environmentally friendly renewable energy resources—are becoming more commonplace, as the fraction of energy from renewable resources continues to increase. Nevertheless, significant challenges remain in reducing the leveliz...

In recent decades, there has been a constant growth in the world’s energy demands, mostly supported by fossil fuels. This has resulted in an associated increase in CO₂ emissions and a growing concern about the consequences of climate change and global warming, which represent a m...

Hydrogen is a promising energy carrier. It is the ultimate, utopian supplier of energy to meet the world’s demand and simultaneously decrease greenhouse gases emissions.  Presently, our journal's Hydrogen Energy Section aims to gather innovative research (experimental and computational...

The “Energy and Environment” Section covers all topics at the interface of energy and the environment that are of interest to the science and engineering communities. Special focus is given to progress in research and applications associated with the development and evaluation of tech...

Climate change and its derived dire consequences are arguably the most significant threat humankind is facing currently. The overwhelming scientific consensus, albeit not complete, points to anthropogenically caused greenhouse gas emissions as the likeliest cause behind the sustained increases in...

Clean energy is vital to our sustainable futures. It comprises a number of zero- or low-emission, versatile technologies crucial to tackling climate change and other environmental challenges. They represent a paradigm shift in energy system, consumption, production, and in society’s relatio...

The Carbon Energy section is primarily focused on (i) carbon generation from energy utilization from both fossil fuels and biomass based fuels, (ii) carbon capture, transport and storage associated to industrial and energy use and (iii) carbon utilization oriented to the production of synthetic f...

Today, nuclear energy accounts for over 10% of global energy generation and the number of nuclear reactors deployed continues to grow steadily. However, if nuclear energy wants to remain a really sustainable energy source, innovation shall play a key role. Therefore, this section covers present a...

Energy policy is the manner in which a given entity (governments, industry groups, businesses) address issues of energy development, production, distribution, and consumption. This Section also provides a forum for communicating recent advances in energy policy, economics and innovation aspects o...

With ever increasing concern on energy and environment, energy storage technologies and their emerging applications are one of the main themes in Energies. Since energy comes in various forms including electrical, mechanical, thermal, chemical and radioactive, the energy storage essentially store...

The increasing energy demand due to growing global population and the critical relationship between Energy, environment and sustainability lead to novel discoveries and advancement in the field of Energy Materials in search of alternative resources. Energy materials is making ground breaking deve...

Our growing demand for energy and our understanding of how fossil fuel consumption, global greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change are interconnected make us constantly ask ourselves: what are the alternative solutions? At present, one of the most critical issues facing our modern society is...

We are living nowadays an Energy transition. We are going more electrical than ever before in transportation: electrical vehicles and ships, electrical motors are every were. Back home, more electronics, electrical kitchens and electronic controlled devices are more a...

All countries are seriously concerned about the security of energy supply and, in particular, about the protection of energy critical infrastructures: electricity, gas, and oil. These assets are essential for the maintenance of vital social economic functions. In order to protect critical energy ...
