Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Submissions are invited to a Special Issue of the Energies journal on the topic of “CO2 Capture, Utilisation, Storage/Sequestration and Hydrocarbon Recovery”. CO2 is a major greenhouse gas, and its alarming increase in recent times poses a severe threat to the environment and contributes significantly to the global climate change. Plausible strategies for meeting the set CO2 emission reduction targets include carbon dioxide capture and storage(CCS) along with its utilisation and sequestration. Further, CO2 can also be used to enhance hydrocarbon recovery, and after the depletion of hydrocarbons in the reservoirs, CO2 could be stored in them. Recently, CO2 has been employed to replace methane trapped in natural hydrate deposits. This promising approach paves the way to secure the future energy (methane/natural gas) necessities and simultaneously alleviates CO2 emissions.
This Special Issue aims to publish original research and review articles focusing on salient aspects of CO2 capture, storage, utilisation and sequestration, including but not limited to existing/novel materials, potential technologies and associated process development. Substitution of CO2 with methane from hydrate deposits for enhanced methane recovery coupled with CO2 capture/sequestration is also considered. Further, this issue is also open for emerging hydrocarbon extraction techniques utilising CO2 to enhance the efficiency, versatility, yield and safety of the hydrocarbon recovery process.

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.
