Summary

Iraq relies upon oil as the main energy source to cover its requirements. Increasing the demands on energy in near future could cause a problem. This special issue is intended for researchers in the energy sector with a focus on Iraq. This special issue can provide a recent platform reference with modern data and statistical analysis for the energy that exists in different Iraqi regions.

Recommended Topics:

1. Oil & gas technology in Iraq

2. Power electronics

3. Smart grids and microgrids

4. Energy and environment, sustainable transition

5. Carbon emission and utilization

6. Geothermal energy  

7. Renewable Energy (Solar, Wind, Hydrogen, Biomass, and Hydro).

8. Sustainable lighting design

9. Sustainable Approach to Energy Solutions

10. Clean, Green, and Intelligent of the Storage Energy Technologies

11. Advanced energy materials

12. Batteries, fuel cells, capacitors

13. Smart cities and urban management

14. Phase change materials for energy storage

15. New working fluids for energy applications

16. Advanced technology in CO2 and H2S Capture

The following types of articles are welcome:

1. Original Research

2. Short reports or Letters

3. Review Articles

 

This special issue will present details about alternative resources that are available in Iraq. It will also shed the light on the most prospective energy sources that can be used. We recommend that one of the authors (at least) should be from University of Technology- Iraq and the rest of authors from a different country to ensure diversity in research participation. All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed before their acceptance for publication. All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal. The similarity of the manuscript must be below 20%.
