Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite submissions to a Special Issue of the journal Energies on the topic of Simultaneous Exploitation of Coal and Associated Energy.
Safe, efficient, and green simultaneous exploitation of coal and associated energy has become a hot topic. A large number of associated energies are often enriched in coal-measure strata, including metallic and non-metallic mineral resources, geothermal resources, rare metals, unconventional oil and gas resources, and water resources. Traditional coal mines only exploit coal resources and other resources associated with coal measures are considered less or not considered, resulting in a lot of wasted resources. With the depletion of coal resources, it is important to achieve the best economic and social benefits from the traditional coal mining independent of the simultaneous exploitation of coal and associated energy. The simultaneous exploitation of coal and associated energy is faced with complex geological conditions, multi-parameter and multi-field coupling time and space effects in stope, and the comprehensive development and utilization of resources is inefficient and difficult. Exploring the scientific issues and key technologies of the simultaneous exploitation of coal and associated energy is of great significance to energy structure adjustment and ecological environment protection.
This Special Issue seeks contributions spanning a broad range of topics related but not limited to the following:
- Theory and method of simultaneous exploitation of coal and associated energy;
- Hazardous warning of simultaneous exploitation of coal and associated energy;
- Perspective geological characterization of coal and associated energy;
- Surrounding rock control technology for energy simultaneous exploitation;
- Pollution element diffusion and environmental control technology;
- Safe and efficient exploitation (mining) of geothermal energy;
- Safe and efficient exploitation (mining) of coalbed methane;
- Safe and efficient exploitation (mining) of unconventional oil and gas resources;
- Simulation and experiments on multi-phase and multi-field coupling evolution mechanism;
- Technical and economic evaluation of associated energy exploitation (mining).

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.
