對能源的研究仍然是一個關鍵問題。在過去的90年里，燃料一直是燃料科學的主要研究工作的主要來源。范圍很廣，包括許多越來越感興趣的話題，如環境問題和污染。燃料種類繁多：?瀝青?焦炭?石墨?油和氣體?泥炭?合成燃料（包括二甲醚（DME）、甲醇等）?生物燃料?焦油砂?柏油?煤?天然氣?油頁巖?石油?焦油和瀝青?木材和生物量?氫燃料?廢物衍生燃料（WDF）?垃圾衍生燃料（RDF）?碳應用于燃料能源

Research into energy sources remains a key issue. Over the last 90 years, Fuel has been the leading source of primary research work in fuel science. The scope is broad and includes many topics of increasing interest such as environmental aspects and pollution.A wide variety of fuels are covered:? Asphalt? Coke? Graphite? Oils and gases? Peat? Synthetic fuels (including Dimethyl ether (DME), Methanol etc)? Biofuels? Tar sands? Bitumen? Coal? Natural gas? Oil shale? Petroleum? Tar and pitch? Woods and biomass? Hydrogen fuels? Waste-derived fuels (WDF)? Refuse-derived fuels (RDF)? Carbon with applications to fuel energy
