We are delighted to present to you the 5th International Conference on Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development (EESD-2018) conference proceedings (Volume-1). EESD-2018 was successfully held from Nov. 14 – 16, 2018 at Mehran University of Engineering and Technology (MUET), Jamshoro, Pakistan.
EESD conferences are organized by the Energy and Environmental Engineering Research Group (EEERG) with local and international collaborators every two years since 2009. These conferences are multidisciplinary, peer reviewed international events which provide opportunity for interaction to all the stakeholders from academia, industry, policy makers, public and private organizations to address the various technological and social challenges of the energy and environment field sustainably.
This 5th edition of International Conference on “Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development (EESD-2018) attracted original research papers of very high quality. EESD-2018 received 250 abstracts and 200 full papers out which 138 were accepted. This conference proceedings (Volume-1) comprises of 47 of total accepted papers. These proceedings have been divided into seven sections. Each section comprises of the papers of each of seven themes of the conference.
Overall 400 delegates including 15 International attended the EESD-2018. The keynote talks by eminent foreign and national speakers enriched all the attendees with thought provoking ideas and knowledge.
Editorial team thanks the organizing committees, technical committee for valuable review of the submitted manuscripts, event sponsors, MUET, Jamshoro and all faculty members, staff and students who gave their time and energy to make EESD-2018 a very successful event.
