Submit Your Op-Ed (Editorial Submissions)

Cleantech Quest – Op-Ed Submission Guidelines

At Cleantech Quest, we believe that the clean energy transition must be shaped by ideas, experience, and informed critique. Our Editorial and Op-Ed section offers a platform for diverse voices—policy experts, entrepreneurs, researchers, and practitioners—to share their perspectives on energy, climate, and sustainability.

Our Guiding Principles

We are a platform rooted in learning, dialogue, and integrity. All submissions must uphold the following:

  • No harm to individuals, communities, or organizations.

  • No defamatory, discriminatory, or politically motivated content.
  • The objective is knowledge sharing and learning, not blame or personal criticism.
  • Constructive feedback is welcome—but must be respectful and responsible.

How to Contribute

We invite Op-Ed submissions that are original, insightful, and thought-provoking. Ideal submissions should:

  • Be original and unpublished elsewhere.
  • Present a clear argument or insight, supported by facts or experience.
  • Be written in an accessible tone (600–1000 words preferred).
