Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The sustainable development of the environment has become the consensus of all countries, and in recent years, the issue of global climate change has aroused the attention of the international community. In order to control global carbon emissions, we should work together to find renewable resources that can replace fossil fuels. As a kind of renewable resource, biomass—especially lignocellulose—has attracted much attention in the development of resources, energy, high-value-added fine chemical products, and environmental pollution control materials. At present, the development and utilization of biomass energy and its platform compounds have been widely studied. However, the question remains of how to realize the efficient development and utilization of biomass and its platform compounds at a low cost, transform it into high-value chemicals, improve the selectivity and purity of products, and develop and design environmental functional materials based on biomass to make it suitable for industrial production. To answer this question, further in-depth research work is needed. In order to continuously promote further research, investigation, and development in the field of renewable biomass, more research results or reviews should be reported and shared with a wider audience. This provides a platform for more scholars to communicate, offers important guidance and references for novice and experienced scholars, and jointly promotes the rapid development of this research direction.
This Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) focuses on lignocellulosic biomass development, utilization methods, and application status. New research papers, reviews, case reports, and conference papers are welcome to this issue.

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. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2500 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.
