Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy and climate crises pose serious threats to human society. As an energy source with extraordinary potential in the 21st century, natural gas hydrate (NGH) has a broad space for excavation.
Currently, all production methods meet many problems, such as low permeability, secondary hydrate formation, sand production, low gas production, a small product range, and short stable gas production cycles, which restrict the exploitation of NGH.
Authors are invited to submit papers in the field of gas hydrates as an energy resource by focusing on the following topics:
Economic and political aspects of gas hydrate exploitation.
Chemical and physical aspects for a deeper comprehension of the kinetics and thermodynamics of methane delivery and hydrate formation.
Engineering aspects related to new method for gas extraction, CO2 injection and replacement process, drilling problems, hydraulic fracturing, burden sealing, and near-well reconstruction, hydrate storage, transportation, and flow assurance.
Environmental sustainability evaluations.

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.
