INTRODUCTION

The Journal of Environmental Sustainability and Technology (JEST) is a double-blind peer-reviewed scholarly research Journal published bi-annually by the SPCRD Global Publishing Pakistan. The journal is independently managed by Editorial Board with the assistance of members of Advisory Board and Associate fellows of SPCRD comprising of distinguished faculty members at national and international higher education institutions. The journal aims to cover the topics and issues in Environmental Sustainability and Technology. The major and significant purpose of this journal is to highlight the theoretical and applied issues faced by Academia, Researchers, Scientists, Policy Makers, Managers, Agri Businesses and Society in the emerging discipline of Environment and Technological Innovations. The journal especially welcomes submissions which cover all issues related to Enviroment, Technology ans Sustainable solutions in any discipline.

JEST publishes peer-reviewed research across the entire field, to advance our knowledge of our natural world and its various intersections with society.

The scope is intentionally broad and the journal recognises the complexity of issues and challenges relating to energy conversion and storage, alternative fuel technologies and environmental science. For work to be published it must be linked to the energy-environment nexus and be of significant general interest to our community-spanning readership. All scales of studies and analysis, from impactful fundamental advances, to interdisciplinary research across the (bio)chemical, (bio/geo)physical sciences and chemical engineering disciplines are welcomed.

Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Solar energy conversion and photovoltaics
  • Solar fuels and artificial photosynthesis
  • Fuel cells
  • Hydrogen storage and (bio) hydrogen production
  • Materials for energy systems
  • Capture, storage and fate of CO2, including chemicals and fuels from CO2
  • Catalysis for a variety of feedstocks (for example, oil, gas, coal, biomass and synthesis gas)
  • Biofuels and biorefineries
  • Materials in extreme environments
  • Environmental impacts of energy technologies
  • Global atmospheric chemistry and climate change as related to energy systems
  • Water-energy nexus
  • Energy systems and networks
  • Globally applicable principles of energy policy and techno-economics
