Valorization of Biomass and Waste: Transforming Renewable Resources into High-Value Chemicals and Fuels

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a Special Issue of Molecules titled "Valorization of Biomass and Waste: Transforming Renewable Resources into High-Value Chemicals and Fuels". This Issue aims to gather cutting-edge research and reviews that advance the sustainable transformation of biomass and waste into high-value products.

With growing global concerns over environmental sustainability, resource scarcity, and climate change, the efficient utilization of renewable resources and waste materials has become a key priority. This Special Issue seeks to highlight innovative strategies and technologies that enable the conversion of bio-based feedstocks and waste streams into valuable chemicals, fuels, and functional materials, supporting the transition to a circular and bio-based economy.

Dr. Cheng Zhang
Guest Editor
