Special Issue on Bioenergy and Biomass

Biomass can be used to produce renewable electricity, thermal energy, or transportation fuels (biofuels). Biomass is defined as living or recently dead organisms and any byproducts of those organisms, plant or animal. The term is generally understood to exclude coal, oil, and other fossilized remnants of organisms, as well as soils. In this strict sense, biomass encompasses all living things. In the context of biomass energy, however, the term refers to those crops, residues, and other biological materials that can be used as a substitute for fossil fuels in the production of energy and other products. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in this area of Bioenergy and Biomass.

In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles that explore Bioenergy and Biomass. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Biomass and land use
• Biological residues
• Bioenergy and climate change
• Technology of bioenergy and biomass
• Bioenergy processes
• Bioenergy utilization
• Bioenergy and economic benefits

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Bioenergy and Biomass” should be selected during your submission.
