In collaboration with Elsevier Publishing, the International Solar Alliance has announced the launch of Solar Compass, an open access journal that aims to increase research and understanding on the use of solar energy, with USF CERC Director and Distinguished Professor Yogi Goswami as Editor-in-Chief. H.E. Dr. Ajay Mathur, right, Director General of the International Solar Alliance, and Stephane Crouzat, French Climate Ambassador, released the journal and issued a call for papers at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP26.
Solar Compass is seeking well-researched articles to help the ISA in its mission. The journal supports ISA’s vision of a rapid increase in solar energy use around the world and is part of the Green Grids Initiative – One Sun One World One Grid. “With the launch of this Journal, we are hoping to set the organization on a path to deliver solar technologies of the future that help in the faster global energy transition,” said Dr. Mathur.
“There is not one silver bullet to achieve the net zero goal," said Dr. Goswami. "It will require a multi-pronged approach on new, innovative and more efficient technologies, lower-cost manufacturing at scale, investments at scale to support entrepreneurship in new technologies, and financing at the consumer end to ensure adoption, while also taking care of the global societal issues to ensure access for all people of the world.”
