可再生能源和可持續能源審查的任務是傳播可再生能源和可持續能源領域最有趣和最相關的批判性思維，以便匯集研究領域、私營部門、政策和決策者。該雜志的目的是分享問題、解決方案、新穎的想法和技術，以支持向低碳未來的過渡，并實現《聯合國氣候變化框架公約》(United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change)確定的全球排放目標。《可再生和可持續能源評論》發表具有重要評論成分的評論論文、原始研究、案例研究和新技術分析，其形式可以是評論、比較或分析。該雜志還出版了一種新的論文類型——《專家見解》(Expert Insights)，這些論文是受領域領導者委托，就重要的興趣話題進行小型評論。只有在案例研究也證明這項工作適用于其他區域和/或為可再生和可持續能源的更廣泛領域提供資料的情況下，才會審議這些案例研究。沒有批判性思維的書目或文獻綜述是不合適的。期刊考慮了關于以下主題的文章，提供了與可再生和可持續能源的清晰和徹底的聯系:能源-生物資源(例如生物質、廢物)、化石燃料(包括天然氣)、地熱、氫氣、水力發電、核能、海洋和海洋能、太陽能和風能應用-樓宇、工業及運輸利用-電池、轉換技術、燃料電池、儲存技術、技術發展和技術規模環境-大氣、氣候問題、氣象學、緩解技術(例如碳捕集與封存(CCS)、碳捕集與利用(CCU)、太陽輻射管理)技術-社會-經濟方面-保健、工業、政策、政治、管制、社會(例如:機會、教育、平等、公平)系統-碳核算、能源-食品-水關系、能源模型、生命周期評估(LCA)、營養-能源-水(新)關系、智能基礎設施可持續發展——聯合國可持續發展目標

The mission of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews is to communicate the most interesting and relevant critical thinking in renewable and sustainable energy in order to bring together the research community, the private sector and policy and decision makers. The aim of the journal is to share problems, solutions, novel ideas and technologies to support the transition to a low carbon future and achieve our global emissions targets as established by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews publishes review papers, original research, case studies and new technology analyses that have a significant review element, which may take the form of a critique, comparison, or analysis. The journal also publishes a new paper type, Expert Insights, which are commissioned mini-reviews from field leaders on topics of significant interest. Case studies will only be considered if they also demonstrate the applicability of the work to other regions and/or inform the broader field of renewable and sustainable energy. A bibliographic or literature review, without critical thinking is not considered suitable.The journal considers articles on the following themes, provided the link to renewable and sustainable energy is clear and thoroughly examined:Energy resources - bioresources (e.g. biomass, waste), fossil fuels (including natural gas), geothermal, hydrogen, hydropower, nuclear, marine and ocean energy, solar and windApplications - buildings, industry and transportUtilization - batteries, conversion technologies, fuel cells, storage technologies, technical developments and technology scalingEnvironment - atmosphere, climate issues, meteorology, mitigation technologies (e.g. carbon capture and storage (CCS), carbon capture and utilization (CCU), solar radiation management)Techno-socio-economic aspects - health, industry, policy, political, regulatory, social (e.g. access, education, equality, equity)Systems - carbon accounting, energy-food-water nexus, energy modelling, life cycle assessment (LCA), nutrient-energy-water (NEW) nexus, smart infrastructureSustainability - the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs)
