About the Journal

The global transition to sustainable energy systems has gained significant momentum, driven by the need to mitigate climate change, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and improve the resilience of communities and society at large. Renewable energy and storage technologies have seen significant growth and investment, and are now increasingly considered economically competitive with traditional, non-renewable resources. The continued growth is critical to achieving global climate targets and ensuring sustainable development.

 

The Chair in Sustainable Energy Systems was established in 2017 to meet current and future challenges with the transition in Aotearoa New Zealand and beyond, by taking an inter-disciplinary approach, and engaging with partners across society in trans-disciplinary ways. The Chair introduced a suite of postgraduate offerings in renewable energy. To meet the requirements of the qualifications students undertake research at different levels within the Sustainable Energy Systems group, which is based in Te Wāhanga a Manaia—Faculty of Science and Engineering of Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington. This journal captures the research efforts and contributions to knowledge of the students since 2025.
