Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on recent advances in “Biomass Combustion for Heat and Power Generation”. Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts of radical research articles, reviews, and communication letters in a wide range of the main and related topics, including:
- Characterization of biomass as solid biofuel
- Biomass pretreatments, including drying, torrefaction, and pelletization
- Combustion of biomass (wood log, wood, and pellet) at different scales
- Co-combustion of biomass with fossil fuels
- Combustion and gasification of forest residues and MSW (Municipal Solid Waste)
- Biomass-based combined heat and power (CHP) plant
- Design and operation of burner, furnaces and boilers for solid biofuels
- Modeling of furnaces and combustion systems for solid biofuels
- Kinetics and modeling of biomass combustion, gasification and pyrolysis
- Combustion emission control and gas cleaning
- Ash chemistry and management
- Biogas production and combustion

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
