Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are guest-editing a Special Issue of Water, titled “Advancements in Wastewater Biorefineries towards Carbon Neutrality”. Manuscripts will be selected through both invitation and open call.
Wastewater biorefinery aims to produce value-added products in an economically viable process while removing contaminants from water. It bridges the concepts of biorefinery and wastewater treatment to produce value-added products to make the process economically viable, as well as achieve wastewater remediation. Wastewater biorefinery is the process of converting carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and trace nutrients in wastewater into value-added products, while providing clean water resources. Authors are invited to submit papers focusing on wastewater biorefinery technologies towards carbon neutrality. The topics covered can include, but are not limited to, lignocellulosic biorefinery, algal biorefinery, hydrogen biorefinery, methane biorefinery, ethanol biorefinery, and bioelectrochemistry, as well as process scale-up, molecular biology, and process economics. The purpose of this Special Issue is to bring together innovative academicians and industrial experts in related fields and establish an academic platform for the communication of latest research and developmental activities.

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. Water 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.
