Energy Technology provides a forum for researchers and engineers from all relevant disciplines concerned with the generation, conversion, storage, and distribution of energy.This new journal shall publish articles covering all technical aspects of energy process engineering from different perspectives, e.g.,new concepts of energy generation and conversion;design, operation, control, and optimization of processes for energy generation (e.g., carbon capture) and conversion of energy carriers;improvement of existing processes;combination of single components to systems for energy generation;design of systems for energy storage;production processes of fuels, e.g., hydrogen, electricity, petroleum, biobased fuels;concepts and design of devices for energy distribution.Fossil fuels are a limited resource, where during the last 250 years humankind has released a large quantity of carbon (in the form of carbon dioxide) that our planet had taken about 250 million years to sequester. Both concerns of energy sustainability as well as concerns about the effects of climate change are leading to the investigation of new energy sources with newfound urgency. Renewable energy sources, for instance wind and solar energy, are under rapid development and the first generations are already being commercialized. Due to the unsynchronized timing of energy supply and demand as well as new concepts for transportation technologies, energy storage is becoming an ever more important topic, too. However, traditional energy sources will continue to be a significant portion of our energy supply for the foreseeable future, and the improvement of these existing processes as well as renewable concepts for fuel development are also topics of central importance. Once this energy is generated, improvements in the efficient use and distribution of this energy have the potential to make a large impact closer to the point of use.Energy Technology is inherently interdisciplinary: important progress is made in fields ranging from process engineering (for biomass conversion and improved combustion) and electrical engineering (for power conversion and developing smart grids) to materials science and chemistry for next-generations photovoltaic devices, batteries, and fuel-cell technology. Energy Technology is well positioned as an international, interdisciplinary journal to record the progress in this field and act as a valuable resource for the energy technology community for years to come. A global energy transition is on the agenda of most governments in developed countries in order to develop a secure and sustainable energy supply, and the global energy demand is still increasing as the demand from emerging nations continues to catch up. Thus a lot of important energy research is going on—and Energy Technology is publishing on the cutting edge!

《能源技術》為所有相關學科的研究人員和工程師提供了一個論壇，涉及能源的產生、轉換、儲存和分配。這本新雜志將從不同的角度發表涵蓋能源工藝工程所有技術方面的文章，例如：新的能源產生和轉換概念；能源生產（如碳捕獲）和能源載體轉換過程的設計、操作、控制和優化；改進現有工藝；將單個部件組合到發電系統中；儲能系統的設計；燃料的生產過程，例如氫、電、石油、生物燃料；能量分配裝置的概念和設計。化石燃料是一種有限的資源，在過去的250年里，人類釋放了大量的碳（以二氧化碳的形式），而我們的星球用了大約2.5億年的時間來隔離這些碳。無論是對能源可持續性的關注還是對氣候變化影響的關注，都導致了對新能源的調查，新發現的緊迫性?？稍偕茉矗顼L能和太陽能，正在迅速發展，第一代已經開始商業化。由于能源供需不同步，以及運輸技術的新概念，儲能也成為一個越來越重要的課題。然而，在可預見的未來，傳統能源將繼續成為我們能源供應的重要組成部分，改進這些現有流程以及燃料開發的可再生概念也是至關重要的主題。一旦產生了這種能量，這種能量的有效利用和分配的改進就有可能使更接近使用點的巨大影響。能源技術本質上是跨學科的：從工藝工程(用于生物質轉化和改進燃燒)和電氣工程(用于電力轉化和開發智能電網)到下一代光伏設備、電池和燃料電池技術的材料科學和化學，各個領域都取得了重要進展?！赌茉醇夹g》定位良好，是一本國際性、跨學科的期刊，記錄了這一領域的進展，并在未來幾年成為能源技術領域的寶貴資源。為了發展安全和可持續的能源供應，全球能源轉型已被大多數發達國家的政府提上議程。隨著新興國家的需求繼續迎頭趕上，全球能源需求仍在增長。因此，許多重要的能源研究正在進行中，而能源技術正處于前沿!
