Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite submissions to a Special Issue of the journal Energies on the topic of "Bioelectrochemical Technologies for Renewable Energy Applications and Production of Chemicals".
This Special Issue is inspired by the ever-increasing diversification of research with a focus on bioelectrochemical systems. We aim to provide a platform to further and advertise progress in this highly transdisciplinary research field that combines the strengths of biology and electrochemistry to tackle the challenges associated with transitioning from a fossil fuel-based to a renewable (bio)economy. Topics of interest include the resource-efficient treatment of waste streams, environmental remediation, biosensing and synthesis of a wide range of chemicals from renewable feedstocks. In line with the transdisciplinary nature of this field, we encourage the submission of work in any area that benefits the field and aids progress towards renewable energy applications and production of chemicals using renewable energy. This includes, but is not limited to, the development of innovative electrode materials, membranes or reactor configurations, modelling of bioelectrochemical systems, novel or improved process designs, the discovery and combination of novel biocatalysts, as well as the engineering of metabolic pathways.
The Guest Editors of this Special Issue would like to encourage original contributions regarding recent developments and ideas pertaining to bioelectrochemical technologies. Relevant topics are given by, but are not limited to, the following list of keywords.
Dr. Michael Lienemann
Dr. Marika Kokko
Dr. Jörg S. Deutzmann

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.
