About this Research Topic
Traditionally, geophysical methods like seismic and electromagnetic techniques are commonly applied to mineral and hydrocarbon exploration and development. Nowadays, the energy transition concerns the shift from fossil-based fuels to renewable energy sources. In this way, the CO 2 emissions could be reduced in the air. Innovation in the energy transition entail the capacity to produce the green energies. On the one hand, geophysical methods have also shifted to discover low-carbon and renewable energies such as geothermal, gas hydrate, and battery metal minerals. On the other hand, geophysical methods are applied for site selection and monitoring of CO2 geological storage.
Geophysical technologies can be applied to face the mentioned issues. Through in-silico methods, these technologies address two key questions related to geo-resources for the energy transition and a high-tech society: Where to find the resources that we need today and in the future? and How to access those resources most sustainably?
In this article collection issue, we would like to gather recent advances in geophysical research achieving low carbon target with a focus on CCUS technologies.
We welcome submissions including research articles, case studies, and reviews on the related topics but not limited to:
• Novel methods and frameworks of geophysical techniques for low-carbon and renewable energy exploration and development (e.g. CO2 storage location)
• Geophysical methods for identifying and developing subsurface geothermal reservoirs (including low-carbon energy deposits discovered by such techniques)
• New understandings of geophysical methods associated with energy transition and low carbon target
• Applications and summaries of advanced geophysical processing and interpretation relating to energy transition (e.g. alongside biomass and clean electrification)
