Our mission

The world is at a defining moment where we are experiencing dramatic changes to our ecosystems, and the scientific consensus overwhelmingly points to human activity as a major contributing factor [...] The science shows that we are fast approaching global tipping points, which if surpassed will have catastrophic effects. Elsevier agrees that bold action is needed to limit the rise in average global temperatures to well below 2 degrees above preindustrial levels.

Elsevier Climate Emergency Statement 2021

At Elsevier, we are using data combined with content and subject expertise to gain unique insights into how research can accelerate efforts to mitigate the effects of climate change. As a company, we are committed to the rapid reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, aiming to achieve net zero emissions before 2050.

With an estimated 75% of anthropogenic emissions deriving from energy sources, the transformation of power systems and integration of renewable sources are critical drivers in achieving pathways to net zero.

We aim to accelerate the energy transition through the development of critical new resources consolidating and advancing research and practice across our diverse lists, directly contributing to the emerging sustainable smart energy system of tomorrow.

We are continuously working toward adopting and communicating a positive stance for the reduction of CO₂ emissions across all areas of energy, engineering and the environment. Building on Elsevier meeting its Step 1 and Step 2 environmental goals and achieving its targeted emissions reduction set in 2015, we are going further by adopting a supportive sustainable approach to content acquisition.​

By setting a precedent and tackling the most dynamic and critical areas of sustainability, we are working with our authors and editors through constant conversation to support their own missions, publishing their key findings and usable data to encourage a journey beyond learning, with the application of methods and practices in individual environments.​

Aligning with our journal colleagues to build a strategy to match our audiences' values, our constant aim is to consider the key solutions needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and, from a content perspective, how can we back that fight?

Being an advocate and partner for sustainable advances it is our objective to continuously ask ourselves how can we help our authors and readership lead the change toward a cleaner, safer environment?

When appropriate, books are also submitted to Scopus(opens in new tab/window), the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature: scientific journals, books, and conference proceedings.

If you are interested in publishing new energy books suitable for research, learning or professional practice with a sustainability focus, contact the relevant acquisitions editor for your area, or download and submit our new book proposal form(opens in new tab/window). We will be delighted to hear from you.

Our mission

For the renewable energy program our purpose is helping the world reach net zero through our content. The renewable energy portfolio is focused on expanding content in solar, wind, bio energy and storage, to support the worlds energy transition, and global goals in the reduction of CO₂ emissions.

Aligning with Elsevier’s renewable energy journals we continue to represent the needs of our authors and audience, while striving to represent innovative research and enhance our position as a partner, collaborator and facilitator of science and truth.  We have leading international Editors for our series including Wind Energy Engineering and Hybrid Energy Systems, and we are we are always keen to receive proposals on new and dynamic research to help us build an all-encompassing energy program.

Our goals

• ●

  We are committed to net zero emissions by publishing content that advances the development and integration of renewable energy technologies.

• ●

  We are focused on meeting the energy community’s needs, supporting academics and researchers with their continued and critical work in all aspects of renewable and hybrid energy systems to advance the energy transition.

• ●

  As a team, we are communicating a positive stance and aligning our values to create a continued impact supporting the reduction of CO₂ emissions and encouraging work towards meeting the Sustainable Development Goals.

• ●

  By setting a precedent and tackling the most dynamic and critical areas of sustainability, we are working with our authors and editors through constant conversation to support their own missions, publishing their key findings and usable data to encourage a journey beyond learning, with the application of methods and practices in individual environments.

New and forthcoming books in Renewable Energy

Our mission

Advances in the generation, transmission, distribution and conversion of power are accelerating the shift to carbon neutral energy systems, playing essential roles in the electrification of power grids, the efficient grid connection of renewable sources, the development of electric vehicles, and the emergence of smart and highly distributed power systems.

This year we seek to advance the field with a focus on new commissioning in smart and AI-driven power grids, distributed power and microgrids, electric vehicle systems, power quality, operational flexibility, real-time modelling and computational simulation of power systems, and advanced power electronics for grid integration and renewable energy conversion.

Our goals

• ●

  To advance research, instrumental pedagogy, and modern industrial practice in power engineering, power electronics, and power systems as ubiquitous components of the energy transition and UN sustainability goals.

• ●

  To commission power content which supports the generation, transmission, distribution, conversion and utilization of power in transitioning, highly renewable and ever smarter power systems with modern electric applications.

• ●

  To focus our outreach efforts on highly impactful journal research, article and chapter usage, grant funding and society and key conference representation to consolidate, explicate, and operationalize the most cogent facets of research relevant to the energy transition.

• ●

  To deliver content specifically for use by focusing on highly figurative and functional, structured content, supported by representative applications and computational tools.
