Introducing Energy Findings
In an era where the climate crisis has come to a head and the need for a global decarbonization strategy is more pressing than ever, sharing knowledge rapidly and effectively is of paramount importance. To meet this need, we have introduced Energy Findings, a section of the Peer Reviewed journal Findings, designed to present fully vetted research results in a comprehensive and accessible format.
Building on the success of other sections such as Transport Findings, Urban Findings, and Resilience Findings, Energy Findings aims to provide researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals with a platform that fosters rapid knowledge exchange about the world's evolving energy systems.
Energy Findings’ scope encompasses research findings on the production, consumption, conversion, distribution, and associated impacts of energy. We welcome contributions from various disciplines, including the natural sciences, engineering, and social sciences.
Energy Findings papers are short (1000 words) and 100% open access at with only cost-recovery-based author charges. The journal considers any type of study including empirical papers, simulation studies using established tools, and extensions, variations, or updates on prior work. Additionally, we invite short reviews, replications, null results, and data set papers, as long as they bring something new to the table.
To give you a sense of the scope of Energy Findings, here are some of the topics covered in the recently published articles:
An Economic Analysis of Energy Storage Systems Participating in Resilient Power Markets discusses how energy storage systems are becoming increasingly essential for maintaining resilience in energy markets amidst rising renewable energy production, which often results in overgeneration. This work presents an economic assessment framework to evaluate the levelized cost of storage, annualized life-cycle cost, and expected annual revenues of various ESSs.
How Differential Privacy Will Affect Estimates of Air Pollution Exposure and Disparities in the United States investigates the impact of using differential privacy techniques on estimates of pollution exposure and environmental justice outcomes from energy use in the United States.
Energy Transitions in the Food Sector: The Economic Viability of Low-Carbon Technologies in the Swiss Dairy Industry examines the economic feasibility of low-carbon technologies for heat generation in the dairy industry, especially in the context of high fossil fuel prices.
Time Varying Marginal Emissions Intensity of Energy Consumption: Implications for Flexible Loads explores the variations in marginal emissions intensity over time, suggesting that there are periods when shifting electricity consumption can be particularly effective for reducing emissions.
Emissions Reductions from Electrifying High-Mileage Vehicles shows that targeting high-mileage internal combustion vehicles for displacement by electric vehicles would results in much higher per-vehicle emissions reductions than displacing vehicles with low annual miles driven.
With the unprecedented level of public and private investment in energy systems and the urgency of decarbonization, Energy Findings aims to provide a platform where the world's knowledge about our evolving energy systems can be shared quickly and efficiently. We invite you to be part of our endeavor to spread knowledge, inspire change, and take strides towards a more sustainable and resilient future.
