Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With energy transition going at a relatively slow pace and with continuous increase of negative effects of climate change, the need for controlling the emissions of the greenhouse gas most attributing to climate change is today actual more than ever. The energy sector is still heavily depending on consumption of fossil fuels and the Hydrogen production is still mostly limited to reforming of natural gas, leading to rising CO2 emissions. The pricing of CO2 emissions on the international carbon markets fails as a tool to regulate carbon emissions due to inability to objectively estimate the social cost of carbon. In these circumstances, the various ways of CO2 utilization emerge as viable short-term response to the current “carbon crisis”, with geological storage of CO2 still being regarded the most important technology for reducing the CO2 derived from fossil fuels. This is the reason why the advances in the field of CO2 storage in geological media are much needed, including the development of approaches and techniques, as well as development of pilot and demonstration projects in different geological settings.
This Special Issue aims to present the novel research on the topic of CO2 utilization and storage in geological media, with the topics including (but not limited to): case studies (onshore and offshore), modelling of CO2 injection, reservoir characterization, advancements in monitoring techniques, advancements in geomechanical research and geochemical modelling of CO2-water-rock interactions, economic evaluation of CO2 utilization and storage projects, new insights in the possibilities for CO2 utilization (methanation of hydrogen and CO2, EOR projects).

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.
