Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide crucial information to enhance discussions, analyses, and evaluations pertaining to the resource utilization of agricultural waste. It covers various research topics related to the technology of agricultural waste resource utilization, including pyrolysis technology, hydrothermal carbonization technology, biogas technology, and other relevant technologies. The increasing amount of agricultural waste due to the development of the agricultural economy poses a significant environmental impact if not properly managed. However, if agricultural waste is effectively and resourcefully utilized, it can be transformed into a valuable resource, such as renewable energy and series products. Authors are encouraged to submit their contributions on different hot topics in this field.
- Characteristics, resources, and distribution of agricultural waste;
- Pretreatment as well as thermochemical and biochemical utilization of agricultural waste;
- Carbon capture, storage, and utilization of agricultural waste;
- Extraction of value-added compounds from agricultural waste using green technologies.
