Environment-Friendly Energies and Applications (EFEA) is a forum for bringing academics, scientists, engineers and industry together to discuss the recent developments in environment friendly energies and their applications. The main theme of this conference is on renewable and sustainable energy systems, hybrid transportation systems, energy tranision and energy security. The 9th Edition of EFEA will be held in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, on December 4-5, 2025. The event will be hosted by the University of Northumbria, in close collaboration with the University of Aberdeen.
EFEA 2025 is the ninth event in the EFEA series, following EFEA 2010 in Ghardaia, EFEA 2012 in Newcastle, EFEA 2014 in Paris, EFEA 2016 in Belgrade, EFEA 2018 in Rome, EFEA 2021 in Sofia, EFEA 2022 in Mauritius, and EFEA 2024 in Lombok, Indonesia.
