Perspectives and Conversations in Chemical Engineering
In this virtual issue, The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering (CJCE) features articles from the ongoing Perspectives in Chemical Engineering Special Series as well as the Conversations in Chemical Engineering Special Series published from 2023 to 2026.
To learn about publishing open access with CJCE, the benefits of publishing open access, and details about transformational agreements, check out this playlist containing responses to frequently asked questions on these topics.
CJCE is participating in Wiley’s “Powering the Future” collaboration in support of UN SDG 7, promoting “Advancements in Clean, Affordable and Renewable Energy for Sustainable Development”.
Energy serves as the fundamental catalyst for growth across various sectors, encompassing businesses, medicine and education to agriculture, infrastructure, communications, and technology. For many decades, fossil fuels such as coal, oil or gas have been major sources of electricity production. However, fossil fuels have many limitations. They are rapidly depleting and non-renewable sources of energy. Moreover, their combustion produces large amounts of greenhouse gases, thereby exacerbating climate change and impacting our health, environment and economy. With an increase in the global energy demand, it is essential for countries to switch to clean and affordable energy sources to power their economies.
Achieving universal access to affordable electricity by 2030 hinges on strategic investments in clean energy sources, such as solar, wind and thermal. Expanding infrastructure and upgrading technology to provide clean energy is a pivotal objective across all developing countries, which can foster economic growth and preserve the environment.
Wiley is excited to sign the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Publishers Compact and help inform, develop, and inspire action towards the SDGs
In this themed collection, we aim to present the latest research on clean energy technologies and infrastructure from a wide variety of perspectives within physical science.

This special issue is dedicated to EnRISE 2026 – International Conference on Environmental Research and Innovation for Sustainable Engineering, held August 7–8, 2026, at the Indian Institute of Technology Indore, in Madhya Pradesh, India. It aims to provide a high-quality publication platform for selected and extended contributions presented during the conference while also welcoming submissions from the broader international research community (by invitation only).
The special issue focuses on recent advances in chemical and biochemical engineering approaches for advanced wastewater treatment, resource recovery, and the circular economy. It seeks original research and review articles covering innovative process engineering, reaction kinetics, separation technologies, catalysis, bioengineering applications, and sustainable industrial wastewater management. Contributions may include experimental, theoretical, modelling, pilot-scale, and industrial studies addressing municipal, industrial, pharmaceutical, textile, agricultural, and saline wastewater treatment challenges. Particular emphasis will be placed on technologies that enable sustainable water and resource management through scientific innovation and engineering solutions.
The Guest Editors of this special issue are Dr. Mayur Jain (Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Indore, India), Dr. Kiran Bala (Professor, Mehta Family School of Sustainability, Indian Institute of Technology Indore, India), and Dr. Sonil Nanda (Assistant Professor and Canada Research Chair, Department of Engineering, Faculty of Agriculture, Dalhousie University, Canada).

Technical and experimental contributions in the field of synthetic aviation turbine fuel, colloquially referred to as ‘sustainable aviation fuel’ (SAF). Included in the scope are process development to produce SAF, fuel characterization of kerosene for SAF, fuel blending and fuel properties related to SAF, reaction engineering and separation processes employed for SAF, thermodynamics of materials used to produce SAF, and processing of SAF-related waste streams. Excluded from the scope are studies dealing with front-end production of oils that can potentially be refined to SAF, unless oil production and refining to obtain SAF are both included. Theoretical, computational, and modelling-based contributions are excluded from the scope unless the contributions include new experimental data.
Coming Soon
We are pleased to announce that The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering is collaborating with the Process Safety Management Division (PSMD) to feature a Special Issue on Process Safety. This special issue will highlight cutting-edge work in process safety research and practice. Authors of selected abstracts will be invited to submit full manuscripts for consideration in the journal. All invited manuscripts will undergo peer review according to standard journal procedures.
