The Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy or JRSE, is published by the American Institute of Physics. It is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal covering all areas of renewable and sustainable energy-related fields that apply to the physical science and engineering communities.Content is published online daily and collected into bimonthly issues (6 times a year).

As an electronic-only, web-based journal with rapid a publication time, JRSE is responsive to the many new developments expected in this field.The interdisciplinary approach of the publication ensures that the editors draw from researchers worldwide in a diverse range of fields.Topics covered include:

  • bioenergy – bioreactions and bioengineering
  • geothermal energy – geysers, heat pumps, and novel devices
  • marine and hydroelectric energy – waves, tides, and dams
  • nuclear energy – fission, fusion, and related materials
  • solar energy – photovoltaics and solar thermal converters
  • wind energy – turbines and electrical systems and controls
  • energy conversion – solid oxide and proton exchange membrane fuel cells and novel devices
  • energy efficient buildings – photovoltaics, solar thermal converters, and passive solar approaches
  • energy storage – hydrogen and batteries
  • power distribution – conventional and superconducting transmission, fluctuating loads, and controls
  • renewable energy resource assessment
  • transportation – hydrogen, batteries, fuel cells, bioenergy, and vehicles
