Aims & Scope

Aims:

 Renewable Chemistry (RC) is dedicated to pioneering the advancement of chemistry driven by renewable resources, processes, and innovations that contribute to a circular and regenerative chemical industry. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and cutting-edge research, Renewable Chemistry (RC) aims to redefine the role of chemistry in achieving a resilient, regenerative, and carbon-neutral global economy. We strive to be the leading platform for transformative discoveries that propel the chemical sciences towards a sustainable future driven by renewable innovation. It is published quarterly online by Scilight Press.

Scope:

Our scope transcends traditional boundaries of sustainable and green chemistry by emphasizing the complete integration of renewable feedstocks, energy systems, and waste valorization into the development of novel chemicals, materials, and industrial processes. We welcome original research, reviews, and perspectives that explore:

  • Renewable Feedstocks and Bio-Based Chemicals: Innovative methods for converting biomass, CO2, and other renewable resources including many wastes into high-value chemicals, fuels, and materials.
  • Renewable Energy Integration: Chemical processes powered by renewable energy (solar, wind, geothermal) for efficient synthesis, catalysis, and energy storage.
  • Closed-Loop Chemical Processes: Design and development of chemical systems that prioritize regenerative cycles, waste minimization, and resource circularity.
  • Electrochemical and Photocatalytic Innovations: Advances in electrochemical, photocatalytic, and mechanochemical processes driven by renewable inputs.
  • Next-Generation Catalysts: Development of bio-inspired, earth-abundant, and recyclable catalysts tailored for renewable chemical transformations.
  • Digitalization and AI in Renewable Chemistry: Utilization of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data-driven models to optimize renewable chemical processes and material discovery.
  • Industrial Symbiosis and Eco-Design: Integration of renewable chemistry principles into industrial ecosystems to create symbiotic networks and eco-friendly products.
  • Policy, Economics, and Lifecycle Analysis: Evaluations of the socioeconomic and environmental impacts of renewable chemical technologies, including policy frameworks and lifecycle assessments.
