Call for Papers

The Conference invites original paper submissions from researchers and practitioners from industry, research institutes and universities in China and abroad engaged in energy transportation and storage and related interdisciplinary fields, including design, engineering, construction, operation and management, technical services, and manufacturing. The Conference provides a platform for participants to share industry developments and exchange research findings, technological innovations and practical experience.

Submitted papers should address the Conference themes. In particular, contributions on the theoretical foundations, technologies, policies, standards and engineering practices of the "Substance-Energy network" are especially encouraged. Submitted papers must be original and must not have been previously published in any domestic or international journal or presented at any other conference.
