Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, there is an urgent need to address the depletion of non-renewable fossil resources and their associated environmental issues with the use of fossil fuel-derived fuels. Alternatively, biomass and other organic waste materials could be promising future fuel sources. Therefore, the transformation of such materials into renewable and clean bioenergy and biofuels has attracted a great deal of attention. Even though substantial progress has been made in this field, significant challenges remain. This Special Issue is thus dedicated to focus on the research efforts regarding the technological development and advancement of clean biofuels and bioenergy production from biomass and organic waste. The relevant latest research findings including but not limited to modelling results, case studies, and critical reviews will be collected and disseminated through this Special Issue. Proposed themes include, but are not restricted to the following:
- Pretreatment approaches for the production of clean biofuels and bioenergy.
- Thermochemical and biological biomass conversions including pyrolysis, gasification, anaerobic digestion, fermentation, etc.
- The computational modelling of biomass conversion technologies.
The exploration of economic and environmental aspects of bioenergy and biofuel production routes.

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.
