Sustainability of Energy Transport and Storage: Oil and Gas

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays, the energy demand is increasing rapidly worldwide, and the economic, financial, and environmental challenges facing the energy industry are more severe than ever before. Oil and gas continue to be the main energy sources in the world for a long time to come. However, as a typical traditional industry, oil and gas transportation and storage are characterized by high energy consumption, complex processes, long industrial chains, and complex application scenarios. In this case, the transportation and storage of oil and gas urgently require revolutionary change to reach a balance between rapid economic growth and sustainability. Low carbonization and intellectualization have become new trend developmental trends. The green and intelligent transition of oil and gas transportation and storage represents a future research hotspot for sustainable energy supply. This Special Issue is intended as the state-of-the-art resource for researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers interested in studying the sustainability of oil and gas transportation and storage. Topics of interest for submission include, but are not limited to:

• Overview of oil and gas low-carbon and intelligent technologies;
• Carbon management solution for oil and gas transportation and storage;
• Sustainable upgrading design of oil and gas infrastructure;
• Efficient operation of oil and gas infrastructure;
• Deepening the reform of oil and gas industry marketization;
• Optimization of oil and gas multimodal transportation;
• Analysis on the possibility of renewable energy access to oil and gas facilities;
• Complementarity and integration of oil and gas and renewable energy systems;
• Big Data of oil and gas transportation and storage industry;
• Artificial intelligence management for oil and gas transportation and storage.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
