International Journal of Coal Science & Technology - Special Issue on Gas Geo-storage and Unconventional Energy Sources Recovery
The scope of this special issue encompasses, but is not limited to:
- H2, He, CH4, and CO2 geo-storage across molecular to reservoir scales, based on numerical, experimental and pilot investigations;
- Geothermal energy harvesting encompasses multi-physical mechanisms, such as heat transfer and fluid transport;
- Gas hydrate recovery with particular interests in phase equilibrium and applications of molecular dynamic simulations;
- Shale hydrocarbon and coalbed methane recovery, particularly fluids transport phenomena in (nano)porous media;
- Advances in low-maturity oil shale pyrolysis and underground coal gasification;
- Heavy oil recovery by thermal and/or chemical flooding techniques;
- Coal/mineral mining and processing as well as safety science;
- Techno-economic, environmental impact and climate policy assessments;
- Other relevant topics.
