Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue highlights the pivotal role of homogeneous catalysis in transforming biomass into sustainable energy sources. As the demand for eco-friendly alternatives to fossil fuels intensifies, biomass offers a promising route due to its renewability and reduced environmental footprint. This issue explores various catalytic processes to optimize biomass conversion into valuable fuels. Topics include advancements in catalyst design, reaction mechanisms, and integration of homogeneous catalysts in biofuel production. The goal is to delve into the latest research and innovations that advance biomass utilization for a greener energy future.

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. Biomass is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
