Advances in Geo-Energy Research

To whom it may concern:

Energy is the cornerstone of human civilization and progress, and it is central to sustainable development and global security. In the face of climate change and the accelerating energy transition, traditional fossil fuels—such as coal, oil, natural gas, and gas hydrates—remain critical strategic resources stored deep within the Earth. Their efficient, green, intelligent exploration, production, and low-carbon utilization are essential for ensuring energy security and enabling a smooth transition in the global energy mix.

At the same time, breakthroughs in new energy technologies and advanced materials are profoundly reshaping the future of global energy. The 1^st Geo-Energy Frontier Forum in 2024 successfully brought together global experts to advance cutting-edge research and foster collaboration. To sustain this high-level, international platform for scholarly exchange, strengthen the “one-journal-one-forum” mode, deepen fundamental theoretical innovation and key technological breakthroughs, and promote interdisciplinary integration across geoscience, engineering, materials science, and information technology—thereby empowering self-reliance and strength in energy science and technology—we are pleased to announce that The 2^nd International Geo-Energy Frontier Forum (2^nd GEFF) will be held from April 10–13, 2026, in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China.

We cordially invite researchers, engineers, industry professionals, and young scholars from around the world to join this forum, share insights, and collectively chart a sustainable future for geo-energy.
