• The journal was founded in 1926 in London as the Journal of the Institute of Fuel (ISSN 0020-2886), the organ of the Institute of Fuel, published monthly from December 1926 to June 1973 and quarterly from September 1973, running to 51 volumes by 1978该刊 1926 年创刊于伦敦，初名（Journal of the Institute of Fuel）（ISSN 0020-2886），为英国燃料学会（Institute of Fuel）的机关刊，1926 年 12 月至 1973 年 6 月按月出版，1973 年 9 月起改为按季出版，至 1978 年共出版 51 卷
• In 1979 the Institute of Fuel was renamed the Institute of Energy and the journal became the Journal of the Institute of Energy (ISSN 0144-2600), a title that ran until 20041979 年燃料学会更名能源学会（Institute of Energy），期刊随之更名（Journal of the Institute of Energy）（ISSN 0144-2600），该刊名沿用至 2004 年
• The Energy Institute was formed in 2003 by the merger of the Institute of Energy and the Institute of Petroleum, and in 2005 the journal was renamed the Journal of the Energy Institute from volume 78 (ISSN 1743-9671, EISSN 1746-0220), published by Maney Publishing of Leeds on behalf of the institute2003 年能源学会与石油学会合并成立 Energy Institute，期刊于 2005 年自第 78 卷起更名（Journal of the Energy Institute，ISSN 1743-9671，EISSN 1746-0220），由利兹的 Maney Publishing 代该学会出版
• The first issue of the new title, volume 78 issue 1 of April 2005, carried an editorial by Alan Williams introducing the renamed journal2005 年 4 月出版的第 78 卷第 1 期刊出 Alan Williams 撰写的社论，正式推介更名后的期刊^[1]
• In March 2014 Elsevier entered a publishing agreement with the Energy Institute, and from volume 87 of 2014 the journal has been published by Elsevier and hosted on ScienceDirect2014 年 3 月 Elsevier 与 Energy Institute 签订出版协议，自 2014 年（第 87 卷）起改由 Elsevier 出版并上线 ScienceDirect
• The frequency evolved from monthly before 1973 to quarterly until 2016, was expanded to six issues per year from 2017, and since 2021 each issue has been numbered as a separate volume出版频率由 1973 年以前的月刊改为季刊并延续至 2016 年，2017 年起增至每年 6 期，2021 年起每期单独成卷
