Call for Papers: Geologic Storage Systems and Decarbonization

Introduction

The world tries to reach sustainable energy systems that produce no emissions, which makes underground technologies vital for both permanent carbon storage solutions and maintaining energy supply security. The development of Geologic carbon storage research now allows safe storage of carbon dioxide, hydrogen and natural gas at large scales, which helps the world transition to lower carbon energy systems.

The existing climate targets require more than traditional decarbonization methods, which focus only on surface-level emissions reduction. Research on geologic carbon storage and underground energy storage technologies offers solutions that maintain their ability to reduce emissions while boosting grid reliability for an extended period. The systems provide real-time data about subsurface operations and storage system security and environmental effects, which last over time to support current research in carbon capture and storage and worldwide efforts toward decarbonization.

This Special Issue invites high-quality research and review papers that explore innovative technologies, modelling approaches, and field applications supporting CO₂ storage systems research, sequestration research, and broader net-zero emissions research initiatives. The contributions need to show how geologic storage assists with energy transition pathways while it strengthens Decarbonization research papers, which span scientific, engineering, and policy fields.

Scope

This Special Issue seeks manuscripts that examine the scientific, technological, environmental, and policy dimensions of geologic storage systems and their role in decarbonization. The research requires interdisciplinary submissions that support both carbon storage research and integrated carbon management solutions.

  • Research progress in carbon capture and storage technologies together with integrated CCUS systems
  • Geomechanical testing, geochemical analysis, and reservoir integrity testing
  • Storage capacity estimation together with site screening and selection methods
  • The storage system requires monitoring procedures and verification methods, and needs assessment of associated risks
  • The research includes both techno-economic assessment and lifecycle evaluation of storage technology
  • The study examines three main components, which include policy frameworks and regulatory hurdles, and environmental factors
  • CO2 storage systems research through AI and machine learning technologies, which they use to enhance system performance and research capabilities
  • Know More About This Issue

    The global energy systems require sustainable solutions that can efficiently store carbon and energy resources for extended time periods. Geologic storage technologies enable safe containment of CO₂ and hydrogen through their ability to store large quantities of gas.

    Research on geologic carbon storage demonstrates that underground formations can deliver energy security for power grids while supporting industrial decarbonization efforts. Researchers use advanced modelling tools together with monitoring technologies and interdisciplinary partnerships to investigate subsurface processes that enhance storage efficiency.

    The Special Issue enables scientists, engineers and policy experts to present their research findings, which help achieve large-scale decarbonization and sustainable energy infrastructure development. The document aims to develop better research integration between decarbonization studies and engineering applications, economic assessments, and regulatory frameworks.
