Discover Energy - Meet the Editor-in-Chief for Discover Energy

Professor Wei-Hsin Chen, Editor-in-Chief
“Energy deeply involves living standards, economic growth, resource conservation, and environmental quality. How to discover green and sustainable energy sources and high-efficiency energy consumption technology is highly related to sustainability. Discover Energy aims to create a platform for cutting-edge energy technology communications and knowledge exchange in the energy and environment community. It is also intended to provide an informative forum for energy science, business, economics, and policy to achieve affordable energy supply, decarbonization, and climate change mitigation."
