Advances in Environmental and Engineering Research (AEER) is an international peer-reviewed Open Access journal published quarterly online by LIDSEN Publishing Inc. This periodical is devoted to publishing high-quality peer-reviewed papers that describe the most significant and cutting-edge research in all areas of environmental science and engineering. Work at any scale, from molecular biology to ecology, is welcomed.
Main research areas include (but are not limited to):
- Atmospheric pollutants
- Air pollution control engineering
- Climate change
- Ecological and human risk assessment
- Environmental management and policy
- Environmental impact and risk assessment
- Environmental microbiology
- Ecosystem services, biodiversity and natural capital
- Environmental economics
- Control and monitoring of pollutants
- Remediation of polluted soils and water
- Fate and transport of contaminants
- Water and wastewater treatment engineering
- Solid waste treatment
Advances in Environmental and Engineering Research publishes a variety of article types (Original Research, Review, Communication, Opinion, Comment, Conference Report, Technical Note, Book Review, etc.). We encourage authors to be succinct; however, authors should present their results in as much detail as necessary. Reviewers are expected to emphasize scientific rigor and reproducibility.

About This Topic
The global average surface temperature is already around 1.2°C above pre-industrial levels, with carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels hitting a record high this year. Energy transitions are associated with technological advances and shifts from one major form of energy to another. The planet is still crossing a major energy transition from fossil to non-fossil primary fuels. Therefore, reaching net zero emissions requires a complete transformation of the energy production and consumption patterns concerning all economic sectors with the deployment of alternative energy technologies promoting environmental goals and social welfare through effective policy design, implementation and monitoring. Energy policy literacy requests a holistic approach with the combination of interdisciplinary competencies including engineering, economic sciences, political and social sciences and others, thus these are interlinked. This special issue seeks relevant studies, reviews and empirical evidence on studies directly or indirectly regarding energy policies. Studies concerning regional approaches and different geographical contexts are welcome.
The key focus areas include some of the topics below, but is not limited to these:
- Renewable Energy Integration
- Energy Policy and Market Design
- Energy Policy Case Studies
- Energy Security and Access
- Energy Technologies
- Energy Transition
- Energy Policies and Communities Welfare
- Best Practices Energy Policy Design Effectiveness
- Drivers and Barriers for Energy Policy Implementation
- Energy Efficiency
- Energy and Water
- Energy Subsidies
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted through the LIDSEN Submission System. Detailed information on manuscript preparation and submission is available in the Instructions for Authors. All submitted articles will be thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process and will be processed following the Editorial Process and Quality Control policy. Upon acceptance, the article will be immediately published in a regular issue of the journal and will be listed together on the special issue website, with a label that the article belongs to the Special Issue.

Project Report
Abstract
This article explores a strategy to empower vulnerable communities by transferring solar technology as a path to energy justice development. The proposed methodology is based on preliminary research on energy uses according to the needs, practices, and customs of the communities. The study focuses on the cases of three women with productive [...]

Abstract
The transport sector currently contributes to about 25% of total CO2-emissions in the EU as well as in Austria. The largest share is caused by individual passenger car transport, primarily powered by fossil fuels. It is imperative to replace conventional cars with sustainable alternative technologies and explore alternative modes of transporta [...]
