Climate – Sustainability – Resilience City and Environment Interactions is an international and interdisciplinary rapid open access forum focusing on the interactions between cities and related environmental and climatic pressures. The outcome-related research we publish should tackle the challenges that densely-populated cities (and their wider regions) face in a changing world, as increasing populations live in conurbations. We welcome full research papers, review articles, and are also keen to consider short communications that present original material for rapid dissemination. For more details, please see below for our different Article Types. City and Environment Interactions also welcomes research on the urban environment from both the natural and social sciences, especially if it demonstrates the interface with urban policy making and other important stakeholders. It is important to note that the journal aims be useful reading not just for academics, but stakeholders within industry, urban government, and policymakers etc. What topics will the journal cover? Pressures from pollution, climate and the environment add to the demand cities place on resources, and difficult decisions are inevitable in making cities efficient, enjoyable and healthy places to live. The United Nations places great hope in local, city and regional governments taking responsibility to drive sustainable development. Multi-disciplinary research from across both the natural and social sciences is urgently needed to inform the decision making required for better and more sustainable cities. Our subject scope sits at the nexus of how the science of cities and regions (i.e. networks; processes and interactions; communities; and systems) interact with sustainability, resilience, resource limitation, pollution, climate/climate change, and global atmosphere and warming. Some examples of potential topics in this field could be: Environmental pressures on cities and their regions Climate threats such as water shortages, urban runoff, urban heat island etc. Urban greenhouse gas emission and decarbonisation in cities. Impact of extreme weather in cities. Poor air quality and population exposure Air pollutant sensors and community monitoring Transport networks and pollution or climate change Problems of water supply Environmental issues surrounding recycling and solid waste Integrative concerns: electricity; food; water and waste; medicine; security Cross-disciplinary studies; cities as complex systems Community attitudes to urban environments; ethical dimensions and inequality Public perception of climate change and urban pollution Sustainability and resilience in the face of threat Role of technology in enhancing urban resilience Note: If you feel your paper is not covered by the above topics, but nevertheless relevant, please contact the Editor-in Chief, as it may still be considered for possible inclusion.

Cleaner Chemical Engineering

ISSN: 2772-7823

Cleaner Chemical Engineering is a platform to analyse and debate the role of chemical engineering in the period of energy transition and environmental protection. In this light, achieving CLEANER chemical engineering is a significant challenge as most of the energy today is still being extracted by chemical conversion of fossil fuels, releasing a vast amount of environmentally dangerous and harmful gases. Both Energy Transition and Environmental Protection require the utilization of new technologies and energy sources. There are opportunities and barriers to a clean energy and environment transition in the resource (land, water and air), power, transportation, and industry sectors. The most prominent approach to mid-term emission reduction is the improvement of existing fuel processing technologies, which also contribute to environmental protection addressing climate change. In the advancement of industry, transport and energy production sectors, there are still technical challenges to be solved, and most are related to physical and chemical phenomena accruing in the thermo-chemical reactors and chambers. At the same time, adopting renewable energies and novel remediation technologies would further secure a clean environment. Cleaner Chemical Engineering (CLCE) The purpose of the Cleaner Chemical Engineering journal is to exchange and share new ideas, knowledge, experience, and research results about all aspects of combustion, pyrolysis, gasification, sustainable thermo-chemical technologies, multiphase flow related topics: fundamental physical and chemical aspects of traditional and novel fuel sources; reaction kinetics, pollutant emissions, pollutant formation, soot and particulates; IC engine combustion; gas turbine combustion; furnace combustion; clean energy, dual fuel, ammonia, clean coal concept, biomass, biofuel and waste; multiphase flows and sprays, fuel introduction methods, fuel dispersion, droplet interactions; particle technology, particulate matter; new combustion technologies; remediation technologies; chemical engineering and energy storages. The scope includes (but is not limited to) the following topics, where the cleaner and sustainability dimensions are explicitly treated: Experimental chemical engineering research Numerical modelling Thermo-chemical processing of fuels Chemical engineering recovery of materials Engineering of Carbon emissions capture and utilization Low-emission technologies Cleaner Energy production Cleaner Furnaces, burners, turbines, engines Cleaner Electrochemistry Cleaner Biochemical engineering Cleaner Fuel and Materials synthesis and processing Reduction of Particle matter Cleaner Industrial engineering Cleaner Reaction engineering Cleaner Remediation technologies Cleaner Separation technologies Promoting cleaner chemical engineering in industry Cleaner Chemical engineering applications in areas of Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, Minerals, Energy and Fuels, Water, Environment, Food Thermochemical energy storage Electrochemical energy storage and conversion We encourage those interested in organizing a special issue or a virtual special issue within the scope of the journal to fill out this form and contact the editors-in-chief for more information.
