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 the topic:
Growth in energy demand is certain. For instance, according to EIA, 33% of vehicles coming out of assembly lines are expected to be electric by year 2040; 66% of world’s 9.5 Billion population will be living in urban areas by 2050. Affordable, bridging technologies are needed in meeting the energy needs while protecting and remedying the environment, given the climate emergency and energy demand growth. Currently available energy efficient technologies are still languishing, mostly impeded by cost, lack of education, policy assertiveness, retrofittability and incentives, etc.
Deeper penetration of such technologies into energy markets is required as they are considered deployable technologies and are within reach to make a significant difference in decarbonization while improving energy resiliency. Economics play a vital role in realizing sustainable energy solutions for the planet. Factual, historical, and economics/market driven data is indeed necessary for making informed decisions by all stakeholders.
In this context, this special issue addresses the recent advances in energy technologies associated with all three major consumer sectors viz. buildings, transportation, and industry with a particular focus towards their environmental and economic impact. The key barriers and potential solutions for large scale implementation and commercialization of potential technologies will be considered.

Abstract
Focusing upon the United Kingdom reveals that centralised provisions of energy have historically failed to uphold standards of human rights. Even if a transition is made to renewable energy, existing centralised distribution systems cannot promise improvement. This work would recommend the transition to domestic renewables, whereb [...]

Abstract
The textile industry is one of the oldest industries and the third most important industry branch in Macedonia. It has had a steady increase in production over the years. Growing production line proportionally generates textile waste. Although it is terminologically categorized as waste, textile waste can be a valuable resource and is one [...]

Abstract
Net zero energy building design methodologies include integrative approaches and numerical tools to provide optimal performance and cost-effective results. Team integration, characterized by knowledge transfer between disciplines, has yet to be quantified for the design processes of these buildings. This article proposes a specific methodolog [...]
