Bioresource Technology for Bioenergy: Development and Trends

Dear Colleagues,

Energy is considered as a critical sinew for the economic growth of any country. Demand in energy is continuously increasing with the growth of the global population, without enough control and regulations, which has led to climate change and its consequences. Bioenergy is considered as an eventual source of energy that can replace harmful fossil fuels. This energy can be obtained from different sources and wastes coming from wood, agriculture, wastewater.., etc. Subsequently, several processes have been developed, such as pyrolysis and torrefaction. In general, intensive research is still going on by researchers and scientists, in order to have perfect control and the necessary fundamental information to move from the laboratory to a higher scale of production, including supply chain management and life cycle assessment. The main objective of this Special Issue is to be an unifier of all ideas, tentative and studies dealing with bioenergy, going from knowledge of the fundamentals of the different processes at the laboratory scale to big-scale exploitation in biorefineries passing through supply chain management and life cycle assessment. We would like to see studies dealing with any nature of resources of bioenergy. Manuscripts dealing with mathematical modeling and simulation are also welcomed.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
