Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Facing rapid greenhouse effect’s increase, all we should join the process of energy sources’ diversification. In this respect geothermal energy belongs to the most abundant and credible ones, however key factor for reliable estimation of its commercial value is proper distinction between resources and reserves. In the current issue we would like to present papers on geothermal resources’ assessment considering different environments (play types) of geothermal energy’s occurrence including: shallow, deep, HDR structures and EGS technologies. We also would like to address geothermal resources/reserves classifications and their mutual relations. We invite also the authors specializing in technological novelties of geothermal heat extraction and storage aimed to sustain its reserves. The delineated problems are also related to economical, and socio-geographical factors.
This Special Issue calls for theoretical and empirical papers focusing on the following topics:
Keywords:
- Geomodelling in geothermal exploration, development and resources & reserves assessment
- Classifications of geothermal prospects
- Methodology of geothermal resources & reserves’ assessment
- Geothermal fluids
- Geographic and socio-economic viability
- Advances and novelties in geothermal drilling, completion, water and heat extraction technologies
- Underground thermal energy storage (UTES, ATES, BTES)
- Economic aspects of geothermal energy applications
- Life Cycle Assessment in geothermal projects
- Geothermal heat extraction from abandoned hydrocarbon wells
- Use of geothermal heat pumps

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.
