Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Worldwide climate change enables a major challenge to the current situation of energy consumption and, accordingly, much attention has been drawn to the development of comprehensive technology as a way of enhancing the energy supply and simultaneously reducing carbon emissions. In this context, in recent years, a technique known as CCUS in shale gas production and storage raised increasing concerns because it usually promotes synthetic rewards, namely, acquiring energy from geological formation and trapping CO2 in underground strata. Basically, the shale gas reservoir has been widely accepted and recognized to be a suitable geological target to deploy CCUG technology; however, it is not mature enough to experience large-scale field promotion and implementation. As a result, shale-based CCUS is the focus of considerable scientific investigations, and these drive the organization of this Special Issue. Herein, this Special Issue welcomes all achievements regarding CCUS technology related to shale gas, including all outlines from laboratory experiments, numerical simulations, engineering evaluations, economic judgements, etc.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
