About This Journal
The Journal of Renewable Energy is a fully open-access publication covering the science, engineering, economics, and policy of renewable energy systems. The journal addresses the global energy transition by publishing research on solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass, ocean energy, geothermal systems, and grid integration. Authors from low-income countries benefit from full APC waivers.
Aims & Scope
The journal publishes research advancing the development, deployment, and governance of sustainable energy:
• Solar energy: photovoltaic materials, solar thermal systems, concentrating solar power
• Wind energy: turbine aerodynamics, offshore wind, wind resource assessment
• Hydropower and ocean energy: turbine design, tidal and wave power, pumped-hydro storage
• Bioenergy: anaerobic digestion, gasification, pyrolysis, and feedstock assessment
• Geothermal energy: resource characterisation and direct heat use
• Energy storage: batteries, supercapacitors, hydrogen, and thermal storage
• Grid integration: smart grids, demand response, and grid stability
• Energy policy, economics, and just transition frameworks
• Life-cycle assessment and environmental impact of renewable systems
