AgriEngineering | New Section “Sustainable Bioresource and Bioprocess Engineering” Established

The editorial team of AgriEngineering (ISSN: 2624-7402) is pleased to announce the launch of a new Section, “Sustainable Bioresource and Bioprocess Engineering”.

This Section welcomes original research papers, reviews, case studies, and short communications focused on the science, technology, and sustainable management of bioresources. It aims to advance and disseminate knowledge in the fields of biomass utilization, biological waste treatment, bioenergy production, bioprocess engineering, and bioresource system analyses, supporting the global transition to a circular bioeconomy. Emphasizing the intersection of biological science and engineering, this Section explores innovative solutions for the efficient conversion of renewable biological materials into biofuels, bioproducts, and value-added materials through chemical, thermal, biological, and electrochemical processes. Materials include crop residues, agro-industrial waste, and plant-derived feedstocks.

Key topics include engineering aspects of the following:

Biofuels: Production, modeling, and other analyses of liquid and gaseous biofuels, such as ethanol and biobutanol;
Bioprocesses and bioproducts: Fermentation, biocatalysis, microbial, and enzymatic processing, strain improvement, and scale-up;
Biomass utilization: Valorization of agricultural and industrial residues into energy, bioplastics, enzymes, and platform chemicals;
Environmental protection: Technologies for biological treatment of waste, composting, anaerobic digestion, and sustainable waste management;
Thermochemical and electrochemical conversion: Technologies for combustion, pyrolysis, gasification, catalysis, and electrochemical valorization of biomass;
Other technological systems: Design and optimization of fermenters and bioreactors, bioprocess control, energy and mass balances, and system integration;
Sustainability metrics: Assessment of environmental impacts, including carbon, water, energy, nitrogen, and digitization footprints.

This Section also serves as a reference for connecting engineering principles to real-world applications through case studies on biorefineries and integrated farming systems. It highlights economic, regulatory, and environmental challenges while promoting technologies aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The journal supports researchers, engineers, and sustainability professionals in harnessing bioresources responsibly to foster a greener, more resource-efficient, and climate-resilient future.

We are currently recruiting Editorial Board Members (EBMs) and Guest Editors for this new Section. If you are an active researcher in this field and are passionate about publishing cutting-edge research, please contact us at agriengineering@mdpi.com.
