Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Population growth, technological advancement, and a desire for a better way of life all contribute to increasing world energy consumption. Utilizing renewable and sustainable energy sources is the proper and practical solution; nevertheless, environmental concerns such as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fossil fuels limit the nature of energy sources. One clean and sustainable energy source is geothermal energy, which has several benefits including consistency, availability, a massive number of development opportunities, and a wide range of potential applications that make it a compelling and feasible alternative for supplying the world's energy needs while lowering GHG emissions (mainly CO2). This Special Issue reports production statistics from particular nations as well as global production data to provide comprehensive reviews of the development of geothermal energy generation from its unknown origins to the present.
This Special Issue will also focus on all aspects of geothermal energy development, e.g., geothermal productivity, desalination, geothermal systems for cooling, polygeneration systems, cooling systems, and numerical modeling. With a strong emphasis on creating concepts for utilizing high-temperature geothermal resources, this Special Issue aims to integrate lessons learned from the past with current worldwide efforts.

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.
