Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Low enthalpy geothermal energy has a great potential in reducing the climate impact of building heating and cooling systems. The use of this renewable energy source involves a number of scientific disciplines, mainly but not limited to energy engineering, heat transfer, geology, hydrogeology, chemistry, and economy.
The focus of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of the ongoing research on low enthalpy geothermal resources. Possible topics include:
- Innovative low enthalpy geothermal systems (ground source heat pumps, direct heat uses, free cooling);
- Mathematical and numerical methods for the design of low enthalpy geothermal systems;
- Assessment of low enthalpy geothermal resources and shallow geothermal potential;
- International collaborative research, technology transfer, and/or policy development projects;
- Statistic and economic studies on low enthalpy geothermal energy;
- Assessment of environmental impacts, both positive (e.g., CO2 emissions, air quality) and negative (e.g., geochemical alterations, geological interferences).
Both original research papers and literature reviews will be taken into consideration for publication.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
