Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am delighted to introduce a Special Issue of Energies entitled "Advances in Natural Gas Research and Energy Engineering". This compilation of cutting-edge research articles explores the multifaceted aspects of natural gas, including hydrogen, carbon capture and storage, conventional and unconventional natural gas sources, energy applications, and sustainability.
Natural gas has long been recognised as a critical player in the energy landscape, and its importance continues to grow as we strive for sustainable and environmentally responsible solutions. The articles in this Special Issue collectively address the key challenges and opportunities within the natural gas sector.
Our contributors delve into the burgeoning field of hydrogen production and utilisation, investigating innovative technologies and applications that promise to shape the future of clean energy. Additionally, they explore the pressing issue of carbon storage, offering insights into the most promising techniques for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and contributing to climate change mitigation.
Conventional and unconventional natural gas resources are under the spotlight, with in-depth studies of extraction methods, technological advancements, and potential environmental impacts. We also focus on the broader context of energy and sustainability, addressing the role of natural gas in achieving global energy security, economic development, and a sustainable energy future.
The primary objective of this Special Issue is to foster a vibrant community of authors and readers who can engage in robust discussions on the latest research findings and collaborate to develop new ideas and research directions. We aim to catalyse knowledge exchange and encourage cross-disciplinary interactions, ultimately advancing the natural gas research and energy engineering field.
We invite researchers, academics, and industry professionals to contribute to this important discourse by sharing their insights and innovations. Together, we can pave the way for a more sustainable and efficient energy landscape, with natural gas as a cornerstone of progress.
