Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guest Editor is inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies titled ‘Energy from Coal Mining: Technology, Simulations and Experiments’. This Special Issue is concerned with the exploration, production, processing, storage and transportation, economical, managerial, business, environmental, safety and security issues related to coal and energy. It also provides an international exchange forum for readers and authors all over the world engaging in coal mining sciences, technology, simulations and technologies. It will include original research articles, new developments, case studies and critical reviews in all aspects of scientific and engineering research on coal, coal utilizations and coal mining, including the energy resource of gases associated with coal, reducing its environmental damage. Aspects linked to security, sustainable development and advanced computational modelling will be highlighted
Topics of interest for include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Underground mines;
- Open-pit mines and quarries;
- Energy and natural resource policy;
- Mineral extractions and processing;
- Geomechanics and geoengineering;
- Tunnelling and underground space;
- Geological engineering;
- Petroleum engineering;
- Safety science and technology;
- Mining environment and sustainable development;
- Computational advanced modelling, CFD, fuzzy logic and neural network;
- Coal geology;
- Efficiency of energy utilization;
- Future technology and business in coal and energy.
