Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that we are seeking submissions for a Special Issue entitled "Review of Geothermal Energy Production", which will be published in the “Energies” journal. Geothermal energy stands as a pivotal player in the transition towards sustainable and renewable energy sources. This Special Issue aims to comprehensively explore the latest advances in reservoir engineering, formation characterization, and optimal heat and electricity production from geothermal resources. We seek contributions that address the multifaceted challenges and opportunities associated with geothermal energy, providing a platform for cutting-edge research that can drive innovation in this crucial field.
Topics of interest for publication include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Cutting-edge techniques in well/reservoir modeling.
- Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) and investigating the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical processes within EGS systems with the aim of improving predictive modeling and reservoir management.
- Investigating novel drilling technologies to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of geothermal well construction.
- Delving into advanced methods for characterizing geothermal formations, including geophysical imaging and geochemical analysis.
- Examining strategies for optimizing the thermo-hydraulic performance of geothermal systems to maximize energy extraction.
- Exploring the integration of geothermal energy with other renewables.
- Assessing the economic viability of geothermal projects and developing methodologies for risk analysis.
- Enhancing the efficiency of geothermal power plants.
- Examining the role of policies and regulatory frameworks in fostering geothermal energy growth.
- Conducting a lifecycle assessment of geothermal energy systems, considering environmental impacts and sustainability.

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.
