Renewable Energy
Call for Papers
Renewable energy technologies produce sustainable clean energy from sources such as the sun, the wind, plants, and water. Renewable energy technologies have the potential to improve environmental quality and contribute to a strong energy economy. Renewable energy provides 19% of electricity generation worldwide, and renewable biofuels have contributed to a significant decline in oil consumption. There is a strong support for promoting research in renewable energy such as solar and fuel cells.
The main focus of this special issue will be on the new and existing techniques and methods related to chemical procedures for renewable energy generation. Simulation in the renewable energy field is critical in tackling energy problems which are too expensive or dangerous to study. This special issue will focus on the fundamental concepts in the material, chemical, and computer sciences of interest to renewable energy. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Photovoltaic cells
- Fuel cells
- Energy delivery and storage
- Converting biomass into liquid fuels
- Converting biomass into chemical products
- Nanotechnology in renewable energy
- Hydrogen technologies
- Computation related to renewable energy
