Geothermal Energy Heating Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Geothermal energy, as a sustainable and renewable resource, offers a significant potential to reduce carbon emissions and enhance energy efficiency in both residential and industrial sectors. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements, challenges, and opportunities in the utilization of geothermal energy for heating applications.

The Special Issue seeks contributions focusing on innovative technologies, system design optimization, and integration strategies for geothermal heating systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Advancements in ground-source heat pump technologies;
• Shallow and medium–deep borehole heat exchangers;
• Enhanced geothermal systems (EGSs);
• Hybrid energy systems;
• Policy frameworks;
• Numerical modelling;
• Case studies demonstrating successful implementations.

By bringing together interdisciplinary research, this Special Issue intends to provide a platform for experts, engineers, and policymakers to share knowledge, address existing barriers, and propose actionable solutions to promote the wider adoption of geothermal heating systems. The insights gained from these studies will contribute to advancing the global energy transition towards cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. We invite researchers and professionals from academia, industry, and government agencies to submit their original work to this Special Issue.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
