Journal Guide

Energy Sources, a peer-reviewed, international, interdisciplinary journal of science and technology, serves as a publication medium for the investigation of trends in and solutions to resolving the issues of continuing increase in worldwide demand for energy, the diminishing accessibility of natural energy resources, and the growing impact of energy use on the environment. The technological, scientific and environmental aspects of energy from coal, geothermal energy, natural gas, nuclear energy, oil shale, organic waste, petroleum, solar energy, tar, sand, and wind are addressed. Energy Sources publishes full-length research articles dealing with completed research projects and invited review papers reporting on the state of the art in extraction and conversion of energy sources, as well as on their impact on the environment. Review articles will also be considered after consultation with the Editor. Energy Sources is also willing to consider publishing selected proceedings from a conference or a collection of papers dealing with a single topic. The journal is a useful resource to chemists and engineers in the energy field. Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

Energy Sources, Part B: Economics, Planning and Policy is a peer-reviewed, international, interdisciplinary journal of science and technology that serves as a forum for the reporting and investigation of economic and political trends and issues relating to the use of fossil fuels and alternate fuel sources. Energy Sources, Part B will carry articles related to the continuing increases in worldwide energy costs and diminishing accessibility of fossil energy resources, and the economic impact of energy use on the environment. In addition to petroleum-related articles (that also includes articles related to heavy oil), the economic and political aspects of the development and use of coal, geothermal energy, natural gas, nuclear energy, ocean thermal gradients, oil shale, organic waste, solar energy, tar, sand, and wind will be covered. Full-length articles and invited review papers reporting on the economic and developmental state of the art in extraction and conversion of energy sources, as well as on their impact on the environment are welcome. Energy Sources, Part B will also publish selected proceedings from a conference or a collection of papers dealing with a single topic.

Research into energy sources remains a key issue. Over the last 80 years, Fuel has been the leading source of primary research work in fuel science. The scope is broad and includes many topics of increasing interest such as environmental aspects and pollution.A wide variety of fuels are covered:• Asphalt• Coke• Graphite• Oils and gases• Peat• Synthetic fuels (including Dimethyl ether (DME), Methanol etc)• Biofuels• Tar sands• Bitumen• Coal• Natural gas• Oil shale• Petroleum• Tar and pitch• Woods and biomass• Hydrogen fuels• Waste-derived fuels (WDF)• Refuse-derived fuels (RDF)• Carbon with applications to fuel energyFuel is proud to sponsor the ACS Fuel Division Storch Award, in recognition of distinguished contributions to fundamental or engineering research on the chemistry and utilization of all hydrocarbon fuels (excluding petroleum).
