Energy & Environmental Science is an international journal for the publication of important, very high quality, agenda-setting research relating to energy conversion and storage, alternative fuel technologies and environmental science. For work to be published it must be of significant general interest to our community-spanning readership.The scope is intentionally broad and the journal recognises the complexity of issues and challenges relating to energy and environmental science and therefore particularly welcomes work of an interdisciplinary nature across both the (bio)chemical and (bio)physical sciences and chemical engineering disciplines.
