Aims and Scope

The CLES-CE 2022 conference is an international, transdisciplinary platform focusing on cleaner ways of sourcing, transforming, transporting, delivering and using energy and useful products. Embedded in the scope is also the concept of Circular Economy – in terms of energy efficiency of systems with circular material flows as well as the energy recovery and reuse in industrial and processes within supply chains, urban and regional process networks. The Cleaner Energy Systems journal serves as a platform for addressing and discussing theoretical and practical issues concerning energy systems related to the reduction and elimination of negative impacts on the environment and human health, as well as the potential increase of natural and human capital.
