Preface
Energy demand has been rising remarkably due to increasing population and
urbanization. Global economy and society are significantly dependent on the energy
availability because it touches every facet of human life and activities.
Transportation and power generation are two major examples. Without the transportation by millions of personalized and mass transport vehicles and availability of
24 Â 7 power, human civilization would not have reached contemporary living
standards.
The International Society for Energy, Environment and Sustainability (ISEES)
was founded at Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IIT Kanpur), India, in
January 2014, with an aim to spread knowledge/awareness and catalyze research
activities in the fields of energy, environment, sustainability, and combustion. The
Society’s goal is to contribute to the development of clean, affordable, and secure
energy resources and a sustainable environment for the society and to spread
knowledge in the above-mentioned areas and create awareness about the environmental challenges, which the world is facing today. The unique way adopted by the
society was to break the conventional silos of specializations (engineering, science,
environment, agriculture, biotechnology, materials, fuels, etc.) to tackle the problems related to energy, environment, and sustainability in a holistic manner. This is
quite evident by the participation of experts from all fields to resolve these issues.
The ISEES is involved in various activities such as conducting workshops, seminars, and conferences in the domains of its interests. The society also recognizes the
outstanding works done by the young scientists and engineers for their contributions in these fields by conferring them awards under various categories.
Third International Conference on “Sustainable Energy and Environmental
Challenges” (III-SEEC) was organized under the auspices of ISEES from December
18 to 21, 2018, at Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. This conference provided
a platform for discussions between eminent scientists and engineers from various
countries including India, USA, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Malaysia, Austria, Hong
Kong, Bangladesh, and Australia. In this conference, eminent speakers from all over
the world presented their views related to different aspects of energy, combustion,
emissions, and alternative energy resource for sustainable development and cleaner
