GeoEnergy Science and Engineering 2024

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is a continuation of the previous successful Special Issue "GeoEnergy Science and Engineering". You can find the information and published papers of the previous Special Issue at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/eng/special_issues/
3945Y6QLJ8.

GeoEnergy is an integrated and rapidly-evolving field incorporating a spectrum of traditional and innovative geologically-focused energy development. Recent cutting-edge techniques have stimulated widespread interest in sustainable GeoEnergy resource exploration, production, and storage. To achieve a secure supply of low-carbon energy and ultimately transit into a net-zero carbon target and ensure the economic development of sustainable energy resources, insightful scientific understandings and engineering practices are highly required.

This Special Issue invites submissions presenting solutions focusing on a broad area of low-carbon and sustainable exploration, production, and storage of GeoEnergy resources. Topics of this Special Issue mainly include, but are not restricted to:

• Unconventional Gas Resources: including shale gas, coalbed methane (CBM), gas hydrate, and tight gas sand exploration and production;
• Natural/Gold Hydrogen Energy: including the exploration, production, and storage of hydrogen in a sustainable system;
• Geothermal Energy: including exploration and characterization of geothermal fields;
• Energy Storage: including hydrogen storage, compressed air energy storage, and hydroelectric storage;
• Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS): including CO₂ storage in conventional and unconventional oil and gas formations coupled with enhanced oil and gas recovery and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS).

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. Eng is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.
