Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the face of growing demand for renewable energy sources and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the anaerobic fermentation of agricultural waste is becoming a key technology supporting sustainable development. Agriculture, as one of the largest producers of organic waste, has enormous potential to convert these materials into biogas and other useful products in an environmentally friendly way.
This Special Issue aims to bring together the latest research and examples of implementations that are part of the global energy transition and the development of a circular economy. It welcomes original research articles, literature reviews, case studies, implementation analyses, reviews and policy-related articles. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Co-fermentation;
- Anaerobic digestion;
- Agricultural waste;
- Sustainable bioenergy recovery;
- Innovative technologies;
- Fermentation process modelling;
- Biogas yield optimisation;
- Post-digestion management.

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.
